EVERY cut of meat from that deer stunk, couldn't eat it.

Started butchering my deer myself after that, and never had an issue.

Are you talking about tarsal glands on the hock or glands up in the rear hams?

If tarsal glands, those are the first thing to come off of either a doe or buck before I open em up.

Peel the hide off as soon as possible and get glands off right at neck/shoulder intersection.

The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
