Ah - I did wonder about the use of a water blaster

Yes - they stain if left in a tree like I always do - but to be honest - never had anything to get to excited about.
Apart from my very 1st Red Deer.
Believe this or not

Was a 351lb 12 point perfect Royal (wine glass sat in top)
Shot in Kaingaroa Pine Forest just 300m off the Low Level road back in 1976
Broke the Rangitikei meat chiller record weight by 70+ lbs and got photo take by publican then got head stolen by road workmen from Murapara and bloody photo from publican was a failure and never turned out :-(
And yes - you guessed it - never been close to getting "anything" like it since
