Reason I asked, is that if the animal takes too long to die, and the exit hole does not "vent" properly. The running/breathing animal that is bleeding profusely into the chest cavity, starts to pump this blood into the fascia, infiltrating all the layers around the shoulder, ribs, neck and back.

I mate of mine whacked his meat with a high pressure washer to rid of the red bubbly gloop.

Second time today I am hearing of using a HP Washer or one of those jet power claim car washing attachments and a floor scrubbing brush to clean up surface bruising meat.
The animal mentioned in OP was through and through, between muscles, against bone, truly throthed. ]]> General Hunting Discussion Treeman https://systemz.online/general-hunting-discussion/10-kg-bloodshot-meat-what-happened/paged/2/#post-3477 https://systemz.online/general-hunting-discussion/10-kg-bloodshot-meat-what-happened/paged/2/#post-3473 Fri, 22 Dec 2023 09:53:09 +0000

Rather B in the cases I experienced. I had the same bubbly slime on the areas between the skin and the meat, and a gooey blood in the meat and in the layers between the muscles.

*****************************
To put it plainly, it was all just ruined, in some areas like the neck - all of it everywhere through and through.

I have a tall tail to tell which comes close to this.
I once shot a springbuck which was standing high up a mountain side looking straight down at me. I went for a shot between the eyes and the animal dropped dead. When we retrieved the animal, we could not find a hole anywhere, but it was definitely dead.
The staffe skinned and gutted the animals and called me when mine was gutted to show me the massive damage already visible, like from front to back. When the skin came off, the entire rug string was shot to pieces like the buck I got recently, from front shoulders to rear end all along the back.
Much closer inspection revealed that my head shot which left no hole had in fact traveled over the head between the horns and run through the hair along spine removing hair and in some spots causing just enough skin to be removed that the white was showing. The skin was not broken anywhere - hence the no hole found.
The spine was all "popped" and could be "clicked" about and the entire back a mass of blood shot meat.
If you go to the GS Custom site you will see the letter I wrote in on that matter.

I have not thought of this in 15 - 16 years, only came to mind today when the young girl I was teaching to shoot knocked the .22 box target over without hitting it.

Can you describe the blood shot. Is it:

A. blood in the meat/muscle tissue. i.e. the meat appears dark red when you cut into it? (usually only found around the bullet hole or when bone has been shattered.
B. thick gooey blood is distributed between the layers of the meat. i.e. in the fascia between the muscle tissue?

Does not quite make sense. The lungs are much more fragile than the muscles lower in the body and is also almost directly connected to the heart. If your theory held true, the lungs should be a mass of jelly and the liver destroyed. Are they?

***********************
Thank you for pointing this out - very valid. No the lungs were SURPRISINGLY NOT damaged, I recall actually seeing Cody pull one lung out and it was still whitish pink.
I phoned Cody now while typing just to confirm " lungs not so bad tear across top of heart.

So ! Now what ? - Both sides of the animal.]]> General Hunting Discussion Treeman https://systemz.online/general-hunting-discussion/10-kg-bloodshot-meat-what-happened/paged/2/#post-3409
