Gut shot tenderloins

[3006Sprng]

First semi gut-shot ever today, quartering away, clipped gut, liver, heart, stopped in the far shoulder. Deer ran 40 yards and went to sleep.

Inside was full of grass. Packed him full of snow and emptied everything out a few times.

Pulled the tenderloins, washed and trimmed them. Do I toss em, or send it. No stank at the moment.

I’ve never tossed out a tenderloin! Some I soak in salt water before cooking and never had any problems.

No stank = eat to me. If they taste funky then feed to neighbor's dog and let them deal with the farts

No stank = sear em and eat em

Depends on look and smell. I gut shot an antelope and didn’t like the way one of the tenderloins smelled or looked. I fed it to the dog vs. tossing it though. He didn’t seem to mind.

Toss tenderloins? What has the world come to!

Assuming they are out quick, just wash em off and cook them up, cubed and in onions and brown gravy with a side of mashed potatoes.

Stomach, I’ll probably rinse, dry, grill and eat. Intestines? Not worth the risk.

If it's a fresh shot and tenderloin don't have any blood shot, keep em. Only the meat with blood shot dark red to almost black is what I would throw away. As long as you cleaned them and got them cooled down they will be plenty good and tasty.
