My 16 year old learned a lesson today. We were at the lease trying to get an axis, blackbuck...or just some kind of exotic. We had zero success but another guy was there and he shot a nice fat doe and brought it back to hang it up and clean it.
He got it skinned an the front shoulders off and back straps off. He trimmed the neck and then split it open to get to the tenders and he was going to take the ribs as well. As he was taking the innards out, his wife was saying “eeww gross, that’s weird, what’s this part what’s that part, etc....
She pointed to an object and said “what’s that” and he said “it’s her bladder and good lord it’s full”
I was just hanging around doin this and cleaning up that but had to stop and tell him (much to his shock and I thought she was gonna pass out) “ummmmm, that’s not her bladder and it’s not full of urine, that is her uterus and that is amniotic fluid and an embryo”
I picked it up and told my son “This....this right here is why I stress to you to take your doe’s early in the season”
He got the message
I took pics to show my other kids to help drive that point home but I hesitate to post them here
