Not a hunter myself, but my dog just loves muntjacs, so I've been known to collect the odd roadkill. The other day I spotted one as I was driving, couldn't pick it until later that evening, so the butchering was done next morning. The meat itself looked still fresh, there was no nasty smell (apart from just normal gut smell), no open wounds, so it didn't have any fly eggs, and the animal seemed pretty healthy overall.
One thing which concerns me was the colour of its skin on its groin area. It was kinda bluish-green. I didn't take photos, and it's all now in the freezer, but I'm not sure if I should feed it to my dog after all.
Any ideas? Have you seen this yourselves and is that just normal rot process? My estimate is that it's been dead roughly 24 hours by the time I cut it up.
Thanks
