[QUOTE="PNWdude67, post: 2014376, member: 110615"] So, I have read through most of the comments and wanted to add a couple things to consider: 1: “wasting“ the game meat is against the law in most states. So document Carefully what you do here and the Your rationale as you now have made it public. It is great you have the photos of the infection to back you up. I would suggest you contact your local wildlife officer and show him/her so there’s a candid understanding of what happened. 2: When eating wild game it is never without some risk and the infection is definitely a concern as it could have caused systemic sepsis, considering the weight loss and other signs it seems to be the case. Sure cooking it may kill bacteria, but you have to handle it and process it as well prior too. Many processors would turn it away leaving you with some explaining to do with the game warden as to how it was wasted. 3. You and your wife are clearly in the right here and you did all the right things. Congrats on your harvest of thIs Old warrior bull and please ensure the local wildlife office is notified as they will gladly biopsy it and want to understand what kind of issue was going on with this animal. They can tell you how old he is and diagnose any illness or injury. This may help with maintaining the health of the local herd and you will build a relationship with them Also, As mentioned by others, many states will refund or exchange your tag as you were not able to utilize the meat from your harvest.
