58 enfield musket and deer

[Trigger Mike]

I made sure of my load today and hope to hunt deer during primitive weapons season. How much damage will it do to the meat?

[Utah Bob #35998]

Not enough to worry about.

[Trigger Mike]

good. thanks. this is the first year I could do it with a musket

Less than a 12 ga. slug, that's for sure. Likely less than any of the flavors of .300 magnum hollow points, too.

most times , ya can , eat right up to the HOLE , with a B/P gun

 

if you get a bunch of Blood Shocked meat , put it in a Cooler with icey salt brine , this will pull most of the blood out

 

I will let a deer , age like this for 2 or 3 days , keeping it covered with ice even if there is not any shocked meat

 

it will pull some of the wild taste out of an older buck , the girls , prefer the meat done this way

I have used the ice/water slurry to "age" venison several times. It works great.
