    Worms

    Shot two hinds and a fawn for tucker in two different areas of the pureora yesterday. All animals were in poor condition and have intra muscular worms. Organs were clear but not too keen on worms. Whats the go?

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Bit hard to tell from the pics. If they have goop inside them when you squeeze them they are most likely worms. If they are solid then maybe muscle fibres.

    Wild animals, very skinny considering they were gorging themselves on grass. Definitely worms, ive broken down 20odd animals and have never seen anything like it

    Cut the meat into quarters and could pull them in both directions, not connected to anything.

    I would take a hard pass on that. Each to their own with regards to that but I would chuck the lot. I don't take risks when it comes to food.

    Muscle Worms
    You’ll notice muscle worms when butchering venison. They look like 1- to 3-inch pieces of white string. Unfortunately, they often inhabit the backstrap and hams of the deer, making them particularly annoying.

    Like sarcocystis, the worms are harmless to both deer and humans. While technically they could be eaten after cooking, I suggest hunters who discover muscle worms to discard the infected portion of venison and closely examine the remaining meat before consuming. No one wants to eat a parasitic worm.

    Quick Google came up with above. From overseas so may not be relevant.

    I would freeze and do a bit more research.

    Nerve endings attached to the hide...? Used to see them in beef at work all the time. All the time. Sarco cysts in Bobbas post above look like rice bubbles in the muscles.

    Good choice. Not worth the risk.

    Elaphostrongylus cervi

    Tissue worms (maybe).
