rotten deer?
my dad shot a 7 point buck tuesday (11-27) and he tought he missed due to no blood found and no hair,yesterday(11-29) when he was hunting he found the buck that he "missed" and beingtwo days old itsmelledrank and the guts were all mush....Getting to the point I was just wondering if you think that i should even bother trying to salvage any of the meet.

RE: rotten deer?

|
RE: rotten deer?
I don't know. Maybe take it to a meat processor and see if they can salvage any. What was the weather like between shoot and find?
|
RE: rotten deer?
it was between 30 and 40 degrees
|
RE: rotten deer?
No it is a bad deal and people hate to see it but is it really worth risking your health for a few pounds of meat?? I say dont eat it. Just learn from the experience.
|
RE: rotten deer?
YUK THAT IS WRONG.THE TEMP IS WAY TO WARM FOR THAT.NO NO NO DONT EAT IT UNLESS YOU WANT A BELLY ACH
|
RE: rotten deer?
I wouldn't even think of eating it personally. [:'(]
|
RE: rotten deer?
Go ahead and eat it. If you have a death wish.
Its not worth it I hate to say it but count the deer a loss and leave it. |
RE: rotten deer?
I shot a buck afew years ago in the guts.I found about 36hrs later.It didn't smell rank and I ate it and didn't get sick.
|
RE: rotten deer?
Personally, I don't think it's worth taking the chance over.
|
RE: rotten deer?
If it stinks don't eat it!!
|
RE: rotten deer?
don't do it! little too warm!
|
RE: rotten deer?
NO
|
RE: rotten deer?
don't eat it sounds like it went bad
|
RE: rotten deer?
only one way to find out , gut it , clean it , and smell the meat , bad meat will have an odor to it that you won't mistake for good meat. We cut 100- 150 deer a year my grandfather and myself , and you can tell the one's you wouldn't want to consume , and we advise the people of that also !

RE: rotten deer?
i shot my 11 pointer this year and found it 15 hours later gut shot and it smelled like straight up @$$.left the guts in it and caped it and cut the head off.a true gut shot means you got one stinkin deer.by the way it was 28 degrees that day and it was still stinkiiiinnn yuck yuck yuck
|
RE: rotten deer?
naaa, i wouldent i dont want to get sick.
|
RE: rotten deer?
The meat would be fine if it were gutted in those temps . But being that it lay for 2 days with the guts still inside with the heat build up and gasses and all . No cut the rack off and call it a day

RE: rotten deer?
I wouldn't eat it. I agree that it sucks to lose it but something will eat it. However, ifhe keeps the rackhe should tag it....it's thehonorable thing to do.
|
RE: rotten deer?
I agree unfortunately this deer is not fit for human consumption. Nose rarily lies, if it smells bad how do you think it will taste???
|
RE: rotten deer?
if it smells, i'd leave it
