-Partial gralloch lessens the weight but limits the amount of exposed flesh exposed to contamination -Where full gralloch is done at the shot site it is best practice to cover and drag in a drag bag -Ideally may be done in the larger or even a mobile larder, this will provide best hygiene for the dressing and evisceration of the carcase |
|
|
What are the hunter's responsibilities when deer stalking? |
Hunters have to observe the game and note any abnormalities before shooting -Level of alertness -General condition -Carriage of the head -Quality of movement -Limbs |

|
|
If a trained person is able to inspect the body and viscera what must they do? |
-Attach a numbered declaration to the animal's body -Note: the head and viscera need not accompany the body except in species susceptible to Trichinosis (eg wild boar). In this case the head (except tusks) and diaphragm must accompany the body |

|
|
What must the OV check during the PM? |
-The Declaration of the Trained Hunter, any suspicion should be reported to the FSA -Inspect unskinned carcasses prior to the start of processing in order to determine their general condition: eg abnormalities, death caused by hunting, organoleptic abnormalities |
|
|
What considerations exist when dressing deer? |
-Deer have fine hair and care should be taken during skinning to avoid contamination of the carcass -Unskinned deer heads must be handled so that meat is not put at risk from contamination -During rut and after, broken ribs, heavy bruising, cuts and abrasions (infected or healed) may be present. |
|
