Just spent about three hours getting the dang blood out of my Argo ATV. Hauled a doe in from the woods in the back end and man she was pouring the blood. Of course I gave it a chance to dry on nice and get all gummy. Worse part is it got on a chain - oh what a mess!
Any ideas for getting dried on gummy blood mess off? Bleach? I just used water on a rag and kept scrubbing till it came off.
Ya I'd just leave it on but I take my grandkids out in it and grandma would probably be a little mad if they came back with biological crap all over them.

Cola is suposed to work for removing blood, it did on Mythbusters anyway. Removed rust too and worked as a good metal polish.

Sounds like you are using it for what it was made for
. Tell the grandkids to paint some of it on their faces, that will really get grandma going

I bought an ATV Hitch Haul from Cabela's ($80) for my Bigfoot. Never had the blood problem inside the vehicle.

I second the coke idea. I heard the police use it to remove blood from concrete or asphalt.
A bad day in the woods is better than a good day anywhere else.

Did you field dress the deer before you hauled it out?
Normally I drain them before I move them.
Either way, congrats on the deer
