If that's the case.. Why are they saying to wait a year before consuming..... Let me guess... A retired GW knows more than the professionals.... Maybe you went into the wrong profession since you're an expert.... rolleyes


We are not saying that one has to wait a year before these deer are fit for consumption. All deer that are harvested this coming year will be months past the date at which they were consumable. The prescribed waiting period for these deer is 30 days following their sedation...and 30 days is in all probability an exaggerated number. Once again, every precaution has been taken, and this protocol has been approved by a multitude of experts on the subject.
