I was lucky enough to shoot my 2nd biggest buck ever Saturday just to find out I had to discard all the meat. When I went to butcher it I cut into monster pocket of pus. It was disgusting and smelled really bad. after watching it run out for a long time all of a sudden a piece of a carbon arrow fell out. I called 2 different meat processing places they both said they would not recommend eating it that it could be in the meat if the infection got into the blood. It is still a trophy but yet disappointing.
