Thread: Meat Contamination

I like to make the most of every deer/pig I shoot as I don't get that many opportunities to hunt large game. I take back legs, back steaks and shoulders. I'd take the whole animal if I didn't have to carry it so far. At least one shoulder has been munted on all the animals I've shot. On the first couple, I cut the damaged meat out of the shoulder and realised there wasn't much left at all. Totally smashed with blood and bone fragments all over the place. I just leave the shoulder(s) now if there is any significant meat damage.
