More D Report post Posted March 9, 2019 No tick ever on any Javie's I have harvested or assisted on. I have had a few Elk and Deer with ticks. Another huge determinant is taste is field care. If you are touching your recently harvested javie and later process it...that is your first problem. YOU are contaminating the meat. Think about all of your hero photos.... I go way over board but I use 6-8 knifes and at least 10 pairs of gloves to process my javie. The gloves and knife is changed out for a fresh one ANY time they touch the outside. The famous gland? Do touch it, do not even look at it. It will come off with the hide. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azbirdhunter88 Report post Posted January 6, 2020 I am kinda on both sides. I enjoy hunting them but don’t like the meat or smell anymore. I decided to not hunt or put in for them again. I don’t think it’s right to kill one then not use the meat. If they are so nasty and so bad then just don’t put in. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
