Killed this deer on Friday evening, a hot day. But took it to camp, quartered it, and hung the meet in a walk in cooler. From alive to hanging in the cooler couldn't have been more than an hour. Anyways, went home Sunday. Out the meet in an igloo cooler with ice. Today took the meet out to cut into steaks and what not, and this fell out of the ham. Found a little burrow in the ham and just threw that section out. It's about an inch long and was still alive. The meet could have cooler in the ice chest, but it wasn't warm at all. My first thought was a Botfly larvae or something, but I didn't think we had those here, and I really think this thing found its way in there after the deer was dead, not alive. I'm probably sounding dumber as I type, but what the heII is it?

Looks like bot fly larvae, they are usually in the nostrils

looks like a bot. Strange that it's in the ham but anything is possible... Not a big problem here so far, but we brought a horse over from Missouri a few years ago. About January they started coming out of her neck... Pretty nasty. The vet that taught the disease portion of our hunting license class said that the meat would be fine, but I ain't that hungry......

The meat IS edible, and so is the bot for that matter.......if you're hungry enough. Bots are one of those parasites that sometimes get lost looking for their target tissue.

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

Bot will freak people out who have never seen them. Meat is still fine.
