A friend of mine took the front shoulders off a deer we found dead during the rifle season one year. The deer had been shot by the neighbour. They tracked it for over a kilometer onto the property we were hunting, but by the time they found it, the coyotes had gotten into the rear legs, so they left the deer there. My buddy harvested the front shoulders off the deer a few days later and had them ground up. Not something I would do, but he lived to tell the tale.
