So I just got a phone call from one of my farming buddies. He just found a deer dead next to his compost pile from a gut shot from a hunter.
He said the deer died less that 24 hours ago and the deer has rigor mortis.
Would the meat still be good to eat if we field dressed it today and started butchering it up?
I told him to field dress it ASAP and rinse the inside out with a lot of water.
any other suggestions for saving the meat?
Since he said it was a gut shot there is likely some nasty stuff in there.
