Guest TheNumber1Young1 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Ok, so this past saturday was the last day of hunting season in this part of VA. we killed 7 deer total which was pretty good. Well this guy killed a nice size doe, and it stunk i mean stunk really bad, not like anyother deer anyone has ever killed. So we started to skin it, and to our amazement it looked literally like it was rotting from the inside out, the meat was all brusied and brown and yellow. There was one thing besides the smell on the outside of the deer that was noticeable, from the hoof till about 7 inches up the leg was blackish not brown like the rest of the fur.......The guys just took the tenderloins bc that was the only thing that looked normal, the innerloins and the hind1/4 and the front shoulder was all that weird color......What could it be?we've never had anything happen like this near us,none of the older guys in our town knew what it was.

Guest lilcrackshot Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Re: CWD? Man that is weird. Don't eat those tenderloins until you've had that thing tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born2Hunt Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Re: CWD? I would say this is not CWD. I would say that this sounds more like a blood infection or maybe even GANGRENE from an injury like a car deer accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have someone check it out before eating that tenderloin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not eat any of the meat he saved I just don't think it would be worth risking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Re: CWD? CWD is an infection of the nervous system, namely the brain I believe. I don't think a deer with CWD would manifest your description. Sounds to me like gangrene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Re: CWD? Agreed with tominator CWD wouldnt do that to the deer. Dont eat those that could be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest finsnfur Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: CWD? That resembles nothing like the CWD deer I saw. Actually we never knew it had CWD until it got tested. The CWD deer looked and 'smelled' normal. I can't believe you took anything from that deer. I would not eat it either. NO WAY. I agree with the others and think it got hit by a vehicle.

okbowman Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: CWD? Are you sure he shot it, and didn't pick it up by the road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheNumber1Young1 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Re: CWD? Yeah he shot it, he was the stand down from me, which made me check my deer twice and mine was fine but his wont, theres no way i can contact him now, i guess ill try and call around to a few club members to see if i can get ahold of em, thanks for all the advice guys.
