    Pseudomonas is a motile environmental organism, that is often associated with normal human gut flora and occasionally causes disease in humans such as COPD patients, AIDS and ear/nose infections from swimming in infected water.

    One of the keys ID features of pseudomonas, is that cultures and infections smell like the sea, a kind of water associated smell.

    We've all probably swallowed billions of pseudomonas in our lifetime, with no ill effects, so it really is an opportunist at best.

    It can be other organisms than pseudomonas that produce a green pigment, also, degraded haemoglobin can also give off a slight greenish colour. So it may not be what you think it is, unless you culture it.

    If the meat a few cm from the abscise smells ok, its usually fine to eat.

    Thanks for all the input. I showed the photos to a local vet who also hunts and he was also of the opinion that if it were his animal he would do as I had done and that the meat from the rest of the carcass should be fine to eat.
