It was one shot with a 270 copper bullet through the ribs dead in seconds. Drug out then gutted within an hour. Gutted it after to keep it as clean as possible.It was my first time hanging deer so perhaps there's some things I could have done to prevent this. My wife shot a deer on our property at the same time and I hung both at the exact same time. Hers looked nothing like mine after.I ended up scraping, washing, and trimming the stained meat out. It has a different kind of odor to it that I can't imagine taste real well. So I trimmed way more than I normally would. My dogs and chickens will be getting some extra protein in their diet. I think I'll go back to gutting and quartering right away. I didn't enjoy this experience at all.
