Live shot deer processing

[rachunter]

Today I shot my PB gun buck unfortunately I hit him behind the shoulder out the gut.his liver was pate I’ve only shot a few deer in the liver and the meat always had that liver taste to it. Is the anything I can do to avoid it?

I would think that only apply to key pieces of meat like loins or whatever came into contact with that. 

I'd personally just process it as fast as possible.

And holy heck, congrats on PB!

Shooting a deer through the liver or gut only taints the inner loins ( as long as the deer was found and processed within a reasonable time and you didn’t further contaminate the meat) one of the worse things people do is start washing the deer out with water. That just spreads stomach contents everywhere.

Heck, don’t sweat it at all!

I personally,  after gutting and getting it back to a hose would rinse it out and let it drip dry.  Process as usual!!!

PS: Where are the PICTURES?????

The first step I would suggest is posting a pic of the PB Buck. The rest is just semantics.

First - congrats on an awesome late season buck!

Next - I must be confused. I thought PB stood for Piebald, but apparently I was wrong. What's the PB?

Biz-r-oworld coined the phrase "shoot him in the front pocket" when there coming straight at you.

I think it looks something like this:

You can get very little meat damage, and super clean gutting,  if you hit them in the “under the tail pocket”, when they are facing directly away from you.  
 

That is a much smaller target though.  If you miss it by more than 1/4”, in any direction, then the meat damage would be pretty intense, and gutting would be a mess.
