what is this

[bluefin 16]

Hunting Saturday morning, I took a nice Doe for the freezer and when got it home and started to cut it up I noticed the back straps had almost translucent sections running through it. It was kind of tough and void of color. It was not fat either. I took this picture and ask around, even a guy who butchers deer this time of year,and nobody knew what it was but everybody agreed I shouldn't eat it. Not wanting to get sick threw it out, hated to waste an animal but I am not going to put my family at risk. Now I wish I had given it to the dec. I wasn't worried about getting a new tag because I never use them all anyway, I only shoot 2 at most , we just don't eat more than that, but I am curious what it was and maybe they could have helped. Does anyone have any ideas what it could have been.

No it had no oder at all. And it was not oozing or have pus, just translucent tissue. I thought scar tissue possibly also but I looked it over had no wounds from a bullet or Arrow maybe it was hit by a car though

How old was the doe? It looks like aging muscle tissue calcifying.

Absolutely hilarious

[bluefin 16]

I would guess 2.5 or 3.5 years old , she wasn't grey in the snout yet

Wow young I have butchered many many deer here in my garage never seen this before . The pic is pretty good someone will know what it is.

Was it all through the muscle tissue or just the back strap?

[bluefin 16]

It was only in the back straps heaviest on the thick end I didn't notice it in any other meat but was concerned if it was in the blood and threw everything away

Parasite appears to be possible Culprit..... Think tossing it was the right move.

Parelaphostrongylus
