Do people eat ducks that have it?Sarcocystis is what I was thinking of, but my link above is for tapeworm cysts.
Sarcocystis is called "rice breast" in ducks. That's what your meat looks like to me.

I was processing an elk a couple of days ago and have never seen this before. They were throughout the entirety of the elk. They didn’t wiggle. Any ideas?
I don't.Do people eat ducks that have it?

I just got out of the woods this morning so I plan on giving her a ring shortly.Give your local biologists a call.
Is it in all the muscle or just certain parts?

Every cut throughout the entire animal. Every muscle group had them and if I cut across the grain of the muscle you could see hundreds of little white ends
Yeah he was chock full, dealt with a lot of elk before and have never seen this.Wow, that is a load of them.
If the Bio doesn't know right now, I'm sure there is someone who she can text that photo to that will know.
Report back!
Ask for the same tag for next year or for an extra point and to give them the meat. "For their scientific benefit".Yeah he was chock full, dealt with a lot of elk before and have never seen this.
Regardless of weather it is “safe” to eat or not, i think it might give me the willies to eat it with that much of it in there. Especially with 3 little kids that will be gobbling it down.
I will see what the biologist has to say and let you guys know.
I don’t want that tag againAsk for the same tag for next year or for an extra point and to give them the meat. "For their scientific benefit".
