Red Spots

[Jerry W Rose]

Cooked some deer backstrap tonight. There were odd red spots throughout the meat. Any thoughts on what these red spots are?

You didn't shoot it with that other guys spotted brass did you ?

Looks like 12 gauge...I'd say about a 7 1/2 shot ...LOL

I have never seen that, I would egg wash and roll in some flour and bread crumbs. Jason

I wouldn't eat it! I'd thaw out a beef rib steak!

could also be bloodshot. The "New" method of hanging by the head and skinning with an ATV will cause this. Makes it taste gamey

I've never seen it… but it definitely doesn't look appetizing!

Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Soak it in coronavirus vaccine.

Surely there is a certified butcher in this group somewhere that can comment

According to the New Zealand Regional University, this happens when the deer is on her period. It was a study done in the '90's

So you should have waited a little while and gotten the buck a few steps behind her.
