Thread: Eating stag venison

billy goats stink as the head male will piss on itself to announce superiority to the rest of the pack. well left alone unless the pelt or head are worth keeping.
first step is wear gloves, surgical/ kitchen/ rubber etc. while skinning.
when you get home do not!! get in a hot shower. get in a cold one or have someone hose you down with the outside tap, you have that stink on you and a hot shower will open the poors of your skin and let it in. you will not get a bonk that night i assure you!
wash yourself in a decent soap not a oil based detergent, that also will let the small into your skin. so forget the wifes shower gel

you may have to do this twice !

back to subject: stag in velvet is fine, stag in full antler not so much to eat: but with the right prep all is possible.
