I know the critters are basically dead but those ones where they are tumbling down the mountain were rough. Wonder how much damage to the meat and/or antlers was done on some of those.  :yike:

How would it unless it was torn open?

Definitely not something you would do on purpose, but in steep country it happens sometimes.

Even if it isn't torn open, deep bruising can cause some changes to the meat and not to mention if there is internal damage then all those juices from the gut sack can leak out.  :bdid:

Blood is still moving around in their body and there is still blood in the system so they can still bruise, or so I have read. I am not trying to argue but it is just what I read and once the blood gets into the meat, it can effect the flavor. Whoever wrote the article might have been full of poo so who the heck knows. Still won't stop me from taking the shot unless it might fall off a cliff and I could lose it all together.

Sweet video.  All that meat was fine.  That buck that slid down next to the guy and he shot it again and dropped it.  That was a good time to be filming.

That deer follow up shot was epic. Makes me want to get back into long range hunting and dust off the .338 Edge every time I watch videos like that  :drool: pretty cool watching a vapor trail through the spotter and seeing the impact from 500-1000 yards

That happened over in Winston. Some guys opened fire on it as it was falling. Then claimed they shot it.
There were 4 of them and the hunter who shot the elk lost out. The guy was in the military.
I saw him the next day. He went much further back from the gate and shot a nice bull.
Gathering is easy. Hunting is a challenge.

Go to these guys website, and order their videos.  Great stuff, and it doesn't benefit me in any way.  I just know them, and love to see a family hunting together :)
