dead 4 ptr
« on: November 03, 2011, 09:28:05 pm »
I found a dead 4ptr the other day. His body looks healthy and there are no wounds. I was wondering if it would be safe to eat? i will take the rawhide, sinew, and antlers for sure, i don't want to waste the meat if its edible though. Also does anyone know how to do a simple antler mount?

Thanks, Tom.

Not as simple as just an antler mount but it comes out nice.

Wear rubber gloves while you harvest the parts you want.

DON'T EAT unless you or someone you really trust was there at the time of death.  I prefer to find road kill and what not still moving around a little.  I feel like I know what's going on a bit better. We have what they call "blue tongue" around here once in a while; you may check for that.  Agree w/ Pat about the gloves.  I almost always wear them anymore for every butchering process.  If nothing else they give you a leway or warning before you cut your finger.  :o

I not eat that deer.  There are too many unknowns about cause of death and what has happened from time of death.
