He took three phone numbers for me and said he would have another bio or someone from enforcement all me to look at it and possibly pick it up so I could get another tag.

BTKR that's good to hear that they would even consider replacing your tag. I appreciate them being interested in actually seeing the meat also. Would be nice to have a more definite answer. But good to hear. Good pictures also.

Sorry to hear about that. If it were mine I would do the same as you, let WDFW know and cut away that bad spots. From what I know it's usually on the surface and not in the deep tissue. If you're worried about areas just grind it into burger and cook well. That's what I would do.

Let us know how much of it you eat and any ill effects?  Someone should test out this theory of it being safe.  I wouldn't even feed it to my dog.
That's what I am saying ....I can not stand to see hair in my food  :dunno: :chuckle: and I sure in heck am not eating that sheeeet !

That's natural selection for ya :bash:why not just feed your family a bowl full of unidentified parasites and see what happens?  I understand all that was put into getting the animal and how bad it sucks to be out the bounty but there is no way I would risk the safety and health of my family by feeding them some meat laden with parasites that have not been definitively identified by a professional deeming it safe for consumption. Take the loss and live another day!! This is like playing Russian roulette with a loaded semi auto pistol :bash: :twocents:

I'd eat them before I ate any fish that hasn't been tested for cesium 137.

This was originally posted by BTKR...

Here's another view of an elk with the same affliction, for all you "cook it well and enjoy" types.  I'm sure he wouldn't mind hooking you up with some to 'cook and enjoy'



Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.
