Silver dollar pus on deer

[okie]

Deer get injuries, I was walking a cornfield with friends hunting pheasant. A doe ran by me and jumped, saw me in mid air and twisted, landed on an old t-post. Awful noise for about 10 seconds, blood everywhere. Festering wounds in a game animal, not my idea of great table fair. But sure cattle show up to be processed with similar wounds, we just aren't told about it.

just think of all the water you drink, that was wizzed in before it was treated.

If it was a cow in a slaughter house it would end up in the grocery store.

Sometimes wildlife has diseases, parasites, and health problems.. I have killed bull elk with a liver full of large liver flukes, ..worms...didn't eat the liver. Another with some sort of parasites in the fat. Trimmed out the bad spots and ate it...but today I wouldn't eat it...old age changes your perspective on things. But you can eat most questional or tainted meat if ya cook it well enough to kill the parasites, bacteria, etc...we do it every day. All except mad cow disease, and maybe a few others.

Looks like a ruptured abscess from an injury. Cut it out good and clean (wide around the area) and process as normal. It's done ALL the time in the meat packing industry.

Update: I’ve had 20 pounds of meat and still alive and well. Glad I kept it.
