Coyotes and wounded deer

[tony]

Coming from a nurse.
Most "expert nurses" are LPNs or CNAs in nursing homes or some drs office.

I work emergency med and prison nursing. I'd be the first to tell you I have no idea if you would grow hair and howl at the moon after midnight.

I do know we'd have to use a silver bullet on you when you turn. I saw that in a move!

The approach you took with the second deer is the standard, accepted practice among experienced hunters for salvaging meat from a predator-chewed animal. The core principle is: You are not trying to save the contaminated parts; you are aggressively removing them to save the uncontaminated meat.

Don't eat the parts the yotes got just cut it out. 2nd this nurse, Jesus. No nurse has any training on zoonotic diseases.

What you might need to worry about. Tapeworm but not a thing from cooked meat. A few types of bacteria infections also solved with cooked meat. Rabies is weird though. The meat handled would need the infected saliva on it and you would need an open cut. Then the infection would need to win the lottery to get you as it has never been documented transmitted that way.

Long story short, the Nurse a very wide level of education on that one, has no real training at all over anyone else on zoonotic disease.

Total bs. Don’t listen to nurse Karen about anything to do with animals and 99% of what she says about humans.

Take normal precautions for an animal left overnight regarding spoilage, trim the affected areas and discard tainted meat. Enjoy what is left.

well i have seen videos where people have ate coyote, google eating coyote and tons of youtube videos show up, so there's that

I have seen videos where a coyote is trying to eat a roadrunner, but the road runner is too smart for him. Fair amount of anvils, balloons, dynamite involved. Meep meep!!

On a serious note, I had two eagles take most of a hindquarter off a hanging mule deer one bite at time. Didn’t even occur to me to think about bird disease, just cut around the damage and ate what they didn’t. Of course ever since I’ve had this weird twitch in my right eye….
