How Stress Impacts the Quality of Raised and Game Meat?
Why Deer Keep Running After Being Shot, Even in the Heart?
Most people may not realize that the quality of meat you buy in the store or even the quality of game meat you hunt is heavily impacted by the stress and treatment of the animal prior to death? This article will share some education on the matter.
It's now the bow hunting season in our county. We are not into hunting (we are regenerative vegetable farmers) but a hunter neighbor recently shot a buck with a broadhead arrow (in the heart?) and yet the buck kept running. It's a well-known fact among hunters that often times deer like whitetails and moose WILL keep running no matter how good the hunter's shot is, even if it lands in the heart and lungs. Heart-shot deer are said to travel up to 200 yards and lung-shot deer up to 400 yards!
