[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 422009, member: 4191"] I too like to perform an autopsy when the conditions are more favorable. We salvage the entire hide intact on Dall sheep for sale for full body mounts. Taxidermists will purchase them. Then we're trying to keep the meat as clean as possible. Plus we're trying to get off the mountain and back to shelter before dark. Time is often of the essence. So after we had our packs loaded up, we were off. Last meat to be salvaged are the tenderloins. That's when we open the abdominal cavity - after the hide has been completely removed and all of the rest of the meat has been collected. That's when I was able to confirm the lack of bullet damage to the internals from the first shot. Here's what the carcass looks like when we've completed field butchering on these backpack hunts: [IMG]http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww125/pdhorwath/IMG_0383.jpg[/IMG] Based on this photo, I can now say that the second bullet never broke a rib on the entry side. I enlarged this photo on my desktop and see no evidence of a broken rib on this exposed side. I don't recall a broken rib on the entry from the first shot either, but it would be on the opposite side in the above photo. Never had Bighorn sheep meat, but Dall sheep meat is top notch in tenderness and flavor. Melts in your mouth... :) [/QUOTE]
