I did look him over but he was covered in digestive waste (solid and liquid), gravel, dirt, asphalt, etc. I may have been able to salvage the tender loins, maybe one shoulder and remove the tarsals but I did not feel the work vs reward was there. Plus if I am not mistaken ( I am still new to Missouri hunting laws) but I believe if I tried to harvest him I would have to give up one of my tags...again not too sure. So I did not want to risk losing my opportunity for a full deer that I know I took and is not tainted.
Rural VA? I am familiar with Stanton/Waynesboro area. Nice deer up in those mountains.
My conveyance as of the last few months has been a Cub Cadet Garden Tractor...that is pretty slow. Ha Ha.

That's really beautiful country down there, I was east of Front Royal, the last of the Blue Ridge mts.
It was pretty rural 40 years ago, I understand I understand now it is more a DC suburb.
Too bad the "authorities" don't even encourage you use a carcass like that just for dog meat.
Likely the big dog food corporations would complain.
Good luck on your hunting season.
