I'm looking forward to field dressing my first buck this year. Everything I've read says ignore them as they don't or can't spoil the meet. The handful of animals I've seen field dressed avoided the tarsel glands. Basically the theory goes that the only way the tarsel glands can cantaminate the meat is from the knife. Yet...............

I still run into folks, especally old Texans, that swear it's the first thing that needs to be done and that all the venison I've ever eaten would have been 100% better if the tarsel's had been removed. I aint buying it but was wondering if anyone here stll cuts out the Tarsel Glands and why?

Happy hunting!
