We’ve butchered over 50 animals and have never seen this…

I dont think Ive ever been hungry enough to eat something that looks like that.

If you’d have taken to the butcher, you may never have known it was there. Lol

Toss it and a healthy distance around it. Then enjoy the rest of your deer.

An old wound of some kind. I shot an elk in the Naselle area, and when we skinned it, we noticed a small hole with white stuff coming out of a shoulder. It had the consistency of toothpaste. When we started cutting it up, there was a fist sized pocket of the stuff, between the shoulder blade and the rib cage. And in the middle of it all was a 50 caliber maxi ball.

Shot a cow elk during muzzleloader season up in the Umtanum one year.  Large pocket of guacamole dip up on the back strap above the shoulder.  Turned out to be a broadhead wedged in her spine with an inch of arrow shaft still attached.  We cut out the nastiness (stunk like hell) and processed her like normal.  She ate just fine...

Thanks for all the feedback!! We tossed all the meat around it (unfortunately even the tenderloin) and we’re going to eat as normal!
