Parasite

[sdporter]

This is the meat of a young mule deer buck that my son shot yesterday. Looking it up online it says it’s tape worm larvae. Yummy! Waste of a deer and tag. Anybody ever seen this before?

What a shame.

 

[sdporter]

He is pretty bummed.

Maybe you can present your evidence to the state fish and game dept. Don't know if they will issue you a replacement tag?

 

[bstorric]

That gives me the willys just looking at it

 

[brushblind]

They may issue you a replacement tag, they should. I would not eat that for sure!

 

[toytruck]

Hope I never see them in any meat. Like said I would let the local warden know, hopefully they can verify and help your case for another tag.

Yup but not in meat but our panfish in both club lakes have similar little grubs . An since I dont eat fish rare it" not a problem , protein is protein if cooked well its just a tasty fish . I can say it is in your head but well done grubs are done too as long as your not the one butchering . My dads father tells of being out on line cabins (fence duty) they would hang meat till grubs were working and the soak in buttermilk ,drive them out or kill them (don't know) as I wasn"t there to ask but said it made for tender eatin ./Ed

Never seen that either. I also suggest contacting your local Game Warden. They can confirm what it might be and may even issue another tag. They might also want to know about this for their own info.

What a Shame, That is nasty

Like eekjellander said above, I have seen that same looking thing in Pan Fish here, There is a little Lake just up the road a few miles from me that has a decent amount of Large Mouth Bass in it, EVERY Bass i have ever caught, and heard of Others catching has them little Worms in the Meat, just under the Skin. So far i have never been hungry enough to eat a Fish from there

Grind iT to burger. And have at it.

In all honesty, I couldn’t eat that venison, much less feed it to my friends and family.

 

[michiganmuzzy]

Yeah i would be hard pressed to sink a fork into that.

There was a national fast food chain specializing in fish. One of the jobs at the individual locations was picking out worms. Halibut is especially bad when it comes to being wormy.

About 15 years ago I killed an infected deer. It was fed to the grizzly bears at WSU. The local game warden issued me a new tag.

I’ve never found any worms in my meat, but I’m pretty sure all wild game probably have some sort of “parasite”. It hasn’t stopped me from eating it so far, and I don’t intend to stop now. I’d bet that 360* grease in my fryer will kill anything that might be still alive going in.

What do fried tapeworms taste like?

I guess chicken fried steak, because that’s what my fried venison tastes like.

 

[michiganmuzzy]

Everything tastes like chicken. Cook it up @sdporter
