Is meat safe if the gut is busted?
Is it safe to eat the meat of a deer if it was "gut shot"? What if you pop the stomach while field dressing? Two questions that have bothered me for years.

No biggie. When gut shot the skin usually protects the meat. Field dress it, rinse it out well and skin it. Should be no poblem. If you nick the stomack or intestine, same thing. I have never had any problems with it. I have nicked the viseral organs while field dressing and have never thought twice about keeping the meat.

I agree with burniegoeasily. I always get my deer in the frez. as soon as pos. If you nick the stomach just clean everything as soon as you can.
