Hey All,
I'm heading to my butcher's shop now but last night I picked up a
small amount of oak- some rough, some planed and on the way home I
came upon a car/deer collision only seconds old. After making sure
the occupants were okay I saw that the 9 pointer was still alive but
really in bad shape. A witness to the collision (in the opposite
lane) arrived after making a u-turn and he and I restrained the deer
until I could kill it. Not wanting to waste meat we set it in the
pickup bed, trying to avoid the lumber and later I field dressed it in
my back yard. (Under lights, with running water, etc.... All the nice
things about having a hunter friendly house.)
Anyway, my future steak supply bled on some of the oak I had. I hope
it won't stain too deeply. Has this ever happened to anyone else?
Any good recommendations for getting blood- deer or others- out of
wood? I already damp wiped the congealed blood from the affected
boards but there is some staining apparent.

regardless of its source)
