Tom2008 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 ....than I thought. While cutting him up tongiht we just were to the end of cutting one of the back straps out and something gross came squirting out. Ends up this buck has a tumor on his right front shoulder. Tons of this oozey nasty puss. There were around 6 different holes that ooze was coming out of. We chucked the front half of the deer and took the back end and loins which were fine. Anyone ever experience this before? The buck had no signs of having a tumor while on the hoof. Guess I did him some good by getting him.

dance.and.shoot Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Can I just say that's slightly nasty.......okay more than slightly.......... at least you were able to save the back 1/2 of him!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeaveragehunter Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I just cut up two last night and am sure glad I didn't run into anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 All I know is that if that happened to me I would not keep ANY of that deer. That stuff travels through the body and I want no part of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoss Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 more then likely it was an abses. probbly caused by an old injury . caused by fighten or shot befor. my guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Yep, seen it a time or two over the years. Most likely just an abscess as mentioned above. Nasty thing to deal with, but I just cut a very generous place around it and kept the rest of the hind quarter. Same things people get, esp if you were stuck in the butt by a buck deer and had no access to medical care, let alone soap and water.

redkneck Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 oh dear lord in heaven, I don't get grossed out easily but dont mess with my deer meat No doubt. It is extremely disgusting, but you just gotta take a BIG cut around it and give it a pitch, wash your hands, wash them again, wash them again, lol... and keep cutting. It is obvious when you get into a place like that it is a localized infection, fully contained in a little area. I have also seen deer with open infections, maybe from a buckshot, these are the ones I'd worry about more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We pretty much cut from the ribs up off. Still plenty of good stuff on the hind quarters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coles Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I was skinning my girlfriends buck and when i was skinning out one of the front legs i hit something hard and puss exploded everywhere. Nastiest thing i have ever smelled in my life. I almost puked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
struttinhoyt Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I killed a Nice 8 point 2 or 3 years ago that had that had a big puss pocket on his hind quarters... just an old wound or something... very disgusting and nasty stuff... We just had to toss the infected areas and keep what we thought was safe to keep.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganHunter Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 my cuz had one that had a big puss filled tumor/injury on the sholder a few years ago...pretty sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I wouldn't be suprised if this was an injury. The bucks are plentiful on that land and they are always pushin and shovin each other around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Shooter Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Yeah, I had that happen on a couple of occassions, like you had said, there was no sign of infection or anything on the outside of the deer. Started skinning them and BLAMO, out pops this thick green ooze. The best I could figure was an old wound to them. We just cut around the infected area and kept the rest, no problem with the meat or taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
