davidmil the worms were white in color, about as long as your pinky and about as wide as a hair, they resembled pin worms

well this was my first buck besides buttonbucks, i think i am going to get him mounted since he's my first buck

RE: Buck Down!!
 

Deer suffer from parasites just like anything else. I'd suspect as long as the worms weren't boring into the muscle of the deer, you're getting rid of them as well. I would thik the meat would be fine. The picture looks as if the deer was fat and slick, in really good shape. I'd say he was perfectly healthy. Check it out with the dnr guys if you're worried though.

there wasnt an ounce of fat on this deer, could that be a contributer?
