the best way i have found to cure a nasty old rut`n buck smell is put all the buck meat in a large enough cooler you can shut the lid all the way down. you can do just the quarters too then debone afterwards.so put all the buck meat in the cooler boned or quartered,add cup of salt, 1/2 cup of vinegar fill with cold water and ice ,shut lid takes 3-5 days keep it cold . drain water, rinse meat with cold water ,cut and bag meat up and freeze,this well make a difference. this method also works on a nasty gut shot deer too.
