I just googled freezing and trichinosis.  Disappointing that they say this:

Freezing wild game meats, unlike freezing pork products, may not effectively kill all worms because some worm species that infect wild game animals are freeze-resistant.
  I like game meat cooked med rare.  :o
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

Um, yuk!  I'd have a hard time eating any of it now.  I'd be giving it to my dad, he'll eat anything!!

Just cut out what you can see and cook your meat well. Don't let a little parasite get in the way of you enjoying your harvest. Congrats on the deer!

I'd report it to see if you could get a new tag.  Cook well and feed to the dogs.  I'm sorry but I could not eat that.

Welp... I did a fair amount of googling and reading up on parasites in wild game :bdid:
This site has very good information on the different parasites in deer. . .

https://www.qdma.com/10-weird-parasites-live-inside-deer/

From what I read, trichinosis is not visible to the human eye
"The parasite is microscopic, so it cannot be seen in infected meat with the naked eye. Although Trichinella infection can be prevented in pigs that are raised for pork, there are no feasible methods for reducing Trichinella infection in wild animals"

Definitely looks like tape worm larvae. . . Good news is that it's not supposed to be able to affect humans. And cooking the meat well kills it completely...

I removed everything I found, and cook my wild game well done anyhow... She's already ground and packed up... I'll be taking my chances I guess!

Did you get a good look at the lungs and liver?


I didn't check out the lungs, but the liver looked fine!

Tape worm cysts.
Have had (unfortunately) lots of experience with them.  About 12 yr. ago E Wa moose that was old had lots of those in it.  Contacted the state vet and sent in pictures, and that's what she said it was.  Their advice--don't feed it to your dog raw because they can get tape worms from it.  Cook it good and you're fine.  Cube the steaks to make it easier to remove the cycts.;  2nd moose in 2009 had a few cycts that most folks wouldn't notice, then found a few in mule deer in the last few years.  The meat is ok, just cook it good.  Also be careful where you dump scraps to keep it away from dogs.  People can't get tapeworms from eating the meat, but can get it from dogs that eat the meat.

Thank the wolves and their move into the state.
