- very little fat content seen when skinning
- the hide was pulling apart in my hand with very little effort

My test results where back in 3 weeks, best guess was because I harvested the buck early in the season. I did have to take the head to the downtown office because the freezers were not yet put out. IMO I know it’s very inconvenient but till we know more about the effects on humans I’m playing on the safe side.
WT buck results just came back Negative. Shot in the same zone roughly 5 miles apart from the MD buck that tested positive
