Well duh, but that means it has time to naturally calm the muscles before butchering. It's smart. I may have to attempt such a glorious feat in my next hunting trip. Give the .45-70 a break next time you know? I just wonder if the gamey flavor gets reduced this way.

I'm having an internship at a natural reserve near my uni. I'm studying herpetofauna but help setting up cameras and what not to study mammals. I also take some photos of feces for the mammal guys then identify.

Pic related, marbled newt we found in a night walk.

I'm trying to get on the path to studying salmon :)

I'd be okay with just being a fisheries technician but holy crap! so! much! science!

Do you experience using a dart gun or are you just saying that? Because you can't use a dart gun like a regular rifle

Good thoughts though. I wouldn't know the answer to your question. First time I shot a deer was for this program and I've never tried venison.

venison is pretty good, I like grinding them into burgers or custom hot pockets.

Lol, 10/10 for the deer's facial expression.
