If you catch it early and it's not too bad you can wipe it down with vinegar and get rid of it.I’ve eaten it where the rib cage was gray/green with mold.
OMG..How spoiled do you like your venison. All 25 pounds of it. Played leap frog with this guy from just south of Shasta to southern Redding. 102 degrees in Redding and mid to high 90’s from Shasta south. No wonder why hunters get a bad rap.

I never hunted elk for years for the same reason. When I was young my dad would get elk from guys at work who hunted out of state. It tasted like crap. Same for Antelope. Until I shot and butchered my own I did not realize what I was missing. I just took it for granted that people knew basic field care.The JOKER Will Be The First To Tell Everybody How Bad Deer Meat Is!
It's very, very close to not being legal.I'm not even sure that is a legal deer in CA? ----SS

Yeah, he probably should have taken the hide off of that thing.
I don’t like to eat anything from anybody that I don’t know processes their own game. I refuse to eat anything from a processor. You don’t know what the hell you’re gonna get or how it was taken care of.I'm not eating rotten meat I don't care how it tastes. this is why I won't eat anything from anyone I don't know well.
Maybe one of those large hydro flasks?and put it in an ice chest. Or a small beer cooler from the looks of the size of that little sucker. lol
Common sense is at a premium these daysI guess coolers in Cali are expensive
I guarantee there is a sticker on them saying they can cause cancerI guess coolers in Cali are expensive
My cousin is a butcher and he agrees on elk.I’ve always skinned and hung or put in a cooler, but there is a group that is from the upper Midwest that keep the hide on their animals and they will swear by it . Stand By!
