Elk Hunting / Re: Found after 2 days, meat worth anything?
« Last post by Blacktail Sniper on Today at 11:41:58 AM »
It may well be too late, but as others have said, your nose will be the biggest indicator.

Also, how the animal was laying may benefit as well, say if it was on its right side, gravity will send all the fluids & blood in that direction to settle & pool leaving the left or upper side somewhat drained and possibly fine, so definitely worth the time to do some investigating.

As an additional level of caution, consider when cooking any that you salvage, cooking it to well done if steaks or just grind it all into burger/sausage so it gets completely cooked all the way through.

Good luck, let us know what you decide and how it turns out!

Elk Hunting / Re: Found after 2 days, meat worth anything?

It's very likely spoiled.  With the hide on outside temps matter less and less.  They have an internal body temperature of 104 with very robust insulation.  Look at the meat,  as said it'll have an off color and off smell.  Bone sour happens even when skinned right away especially in the neck areas and hind quarters.  Another indicator is the soft tissue it will often begin to decay. I've salvaged a lot of animals and have never saved an elk after two days.  Best of luck and I would teach out to the local enforcement and give them a full rundown.   :twocents:

Have to investigate with knife and nose, quite a bit might be ok. Contact with guts or wound might need careful inspection. 40's is borderline, so you might have plenty to process.

Hearing what I've heard today, I advocate to give Chris some grace and everyone to have some patience at this time.

From what I have seen on this thread. You will probably need to expand on that for people to be more understanding. And I'm sure if its warranted grace will be given.
I can understand if that's what people would want, however, I'm not going to talk about his situation. I will say, I hope everyone gets their items back completed. I to brought items in for taxidermy that are still there.

If the meat is bad, you will smell it and it will have a greenish tinge to it.  start skinning it and look at the meat....you may be pleasantly surprised.

Elk Hunting / Found after 2 days, meat worth anything?
« Last post by Pete112288 on Today at 10:59:56 AM »
So I am beside myself. I thought I had a clean miss on a bull 2 days ago. Driving rains made blood non existent. I looked for the rest of the day found no elk, no blood. Looked on the bottom of every fern and leaf I came across. Well, felt like every one. Grid searched the area. He had not acted hit and took off with the herd. Saw the herd later that day in the timber and thought I saw the bull I shot at. Turns out not. I was looking for a good spot to answer nature's call and found him this morning. I had walked within 20 yards of him multiple times. He was in a slight depression, overgrown with ferns. Is there any chance that any of the meat is still salvagable? Its been in the 40s until today. But I know that does not make up for the hide still being on and guts in. Turns out it was a very high hit, nicking the lungs. Not how I had envisioned my 15 bull elk points being used. But I punched the tag, done hunting. And its a long pack, so if its a loss, id rather not pack all the meat out. Is there a way to tell if it is still good if I cut into the meat?
