Hey All,

Was having some venison sausage the other day and bit into two pieces of bird shot. Looks like #6. The deer was brought down with a sabot this past fall and did not notice any other wounds at the time. I gather some "eh whole" took a shot at this deer during its life when turkey (or other species) hunting and the shot just buried itself in the meat and the wounds healed. To the person who did this or any other hunter that would even contemplate this action, you are simply a POS.

Anybody else have something like this happen?

Was it lead shot? If so, that would eliminate the goose meat theory.

Edit: *should*

Don't rule out the lead shot possibility. One of the guys hunting snows with us today was #####ing his gun was jamming occasionally from the 2 3/4" ammo he was using after running out of 3.5" and that the 2 3/4" just didn't have the reach needed for spring snows. I went to look at his gun, a new SX4 and when I emptied it discovered he had it loaded with #7.5 lead shot Winchester Game & Target loads. He was a little taken aback and didn't believe me it was lead until he grabbed the box and read "lead shot" on it!!

Lol. Yeah, that’s why I added the “should” in there.
 
i skinned 2 black bears that got wounds from shots, one on the bck side and the other had 3 different shots on the body. as some others said i cant believe some are still doing that.
 
Found this at the supper table.

I remember years ago cutting up a doe with birdshot in the neck and wondering what a-hole would do that, I had buckshot in my sausage one year because the butcher was just weighing the meat we brought in and giving you back something appropriate weight wise but it was always someone else's meat.

Neighbour who hunts the property next to mine said his butcher left a bullet in his venison. Thing is, that neighbour got his deer with a bow.

That’s bull sh*t. And why I butcher my own.
 
People ot not to be taking frivolous shots at living things, (at anything for thing for that matter.) I'm very interested in hunting for food, having grown up in the city, it's something I am learning about later in life than most hunters. Be that as it may, I cannot fathom taking a "maybe" shot. I guess there are jerks in the forest too?
 
There is a reason I do all of my own processing from the feild to table.I have seen a few things that turned my stomach,my buddy got a big 14 pointer one year towards the end of the season,he was walking in the woods and saw him bedded looking in the opposite direction,He shot him and he never made it 10 yards,when we skinned him out I realized he was a warrior who survived some serious poaching attempts,he had everything from buckshot( illegal back then,) to .22 ri fire bullets under his hide,one front shoulder was seized solid and the leg joint was frozen,he was making do using 3 legs,the hide had burned down and turned to leather like a paw pad.He only had one eye,I'll say it was the oldest buck Ive ever seen,not a single tooth left in his mouth.poor ol fella.

Another was a buck I shot with a .308 in rifle season,as I was feild dressing him,I reached into his chest and something nicked my fingers,I thought it was a broken rib from my shot,but once I got him dressed out I could see he only had one lung and the other was shrivelled up like it had been punctured for a long time,he had big clots in him and as I skinned him I found about 6 inches of arrow and a broad head sealed in a cyst like growth,wit the broad head poking into the chest cavity where it got one lung.Not a mark on thr hide anywhere,it was completely healed over and new hair grew back.Unreal how tough they are.
 
I caped out a mulie buck on which the neck and front shoulder had been peppered with 6 shot. The wound must have been a couple years old as it had long since healed over.

Took a whitetail that had recovered from a bullet that angled through the hind quarter, also healed over. I can't imagine how difficult that healing process would have been, along with avoiding predators in an area full of coyotes, wolves, and cougars.

Go to a butcher shop where there is wild game cut one will see loads of projectiles the butchers have found in the meat or the off side hide or stuck to thier knives or saw blades.
Idiots everywhere...
I spoke to a rancher once who had cows that had their testicles shot off by someone proving how small their ##### was by injuring someone else property.
