They said it keeps the meat from tasting so wild....lol Originally Posted By: Matt Brock Ummm.....no. Last edited by thadstar; 01/31/14 10:54 AM.

But think it has very little effect on the meat. I cut my first set of tarsals off this year as well, threw em in a bag, and in the deep freeze. Maybe they will still stink and draw a big buck in next late season. Experimenting around. Pretty sure tarsals have no effect on the meat as well. I am by no means a expert tho, Only been hunting hard 4 years now. Learn somethin new every day

Do any of you do this or heard of it before? I'm sure someone can post the rule. But this is technically illegal. It falls under the category of destroying the sex of the deer. You could imagine someone killing their buck limit then trying to pass a field dressed buck off as a doe.
