I got a buck yesterday and when I walked up and examined him he had a compound fractured back leg.
Couldn't believe this guy is still moving around nasty blacktail terrain on 3 legs with this 4th dangling leg.
Anyways the question is how does this affect the meat?
The wound smelled foul and when I quartered, I noticed the green pus near the wound.
It was on the bone below the shank so to be safe I discarded the shank also and kept the upper quarter.
The rest of the meat seemed fine.
I've read that some game wardens say just cut the bad part off and the rest of the meat will be fine.
Thoughts?
