Wounded animal suitability for table fare

No doubt they would welcome it at a Chinese wet bar.

I once shot an 8 pt buck in TX in Jan that had an old would from early in the season. Someone had hit it with a light caliber bullet that shattered the front of the left shoulder blade, but apparently didn’t catch any vitals. The fractured bone had healed up kind of gnarly looking, but the surrounding meat was pale and yellowish in color. No pus, but just that weird unappetizing color. I trashed that shoulder meat, but kept the rest of the animal that looked fine. No issues eating it.

A few years ago just before noon on opening day I shot an 8 point whitetail that had a bullet would- a still-bleeding hole in it's right ear! Somebody blew their shot on the buck that morning and I guess he used up all his luck, because I dropped him at 40 yards through the heart (DRT).
