How would a hunter know if the meat was inedible?
I have shot rutting mule deer that were unedible, I'll gladly have you over here to bc and I'll make you a mule deer steak on the barbi and if you can eat it all then your a better man than me, I'll buy the beer.
I have hunted grizzly before, my buddies hunt and kill them too, and at least they take some of the meat, backstraps etc
