Need some professional experience here. Being 51 years old, I have never shot a deer or hog with this......
My cousin just called and said he shot a buck yesterday am the had a little hole in his back. Seems like the buck was shot in the back with a small caliber bullet (22) and it traveled down through the chest and lodged in the front shoulder. He told me that when he was skinning it the GREEN SLIME came ouzing out of the wond and dripped down onto the other front shoulder. Said it smelled real bad. There was also a softball size "sack" of this nasty stuff. He kept the strap that was not afffected and the hams......
I told him that the deer probably had a fever and certainly had a bad infection. Had to be in his whole system. He said he needs the meat and will keep the hams. I would not based on the size and color of the green slime "infection".
Has anyone seen this before? Would you keep and eat it?
Thanks!
