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?
 
We took down a bull moose one year and when the skull was skinned to make a European mount there was what looked like a .22 flattened right between the eyes. It must of had quite a headache for a few days following that!
 
I would be inclined to question the ethics of the sausage maker. Not uncommon to add assoorted scraps of whatever is on hand to a batch of meat to make up the correct weight for the recipe.
 
Over the years I have skinned polar bears for MNR and found shotgun pellets under the skin on their rear end. Some infected some not. There are some people think that a shot in the ass is the best thing to scare them away. They are truly A holes.
 
One chap recently told me of a deer he got.
Skinning out the animal he found a bunch of pellets from a pellet gun.
He said there were quite a few.
I guess someone dint like deer awn their property.
 
Yeah... I think your sausage was made in a line-up goose sausage... you reaped the remains of some waterfowlers harvest.
 
In my group of friends we have found a few broadheads stuck into various parts of various animals, but I think if you took your meat to a butcher, you got some goose meat added to your sausage. And the goose hunter likely got some of your venison.
 
Eating suppet one night i was picking the meat off a venison shoulder blade roast, my knife hit something immediately recognizable as not meat or bone, it was an expanded bullet next to the bone surrounded by scar tissue. Had no idea it was there until then.
 
my family own a farm always had people sneaking onto the property to poach game. I remember my uncles butchering a steer and when they started to skin it one side had been hit by shotgun pellets they where in the skin but had not penetrated into the meat. The whole side was hit with pellets. We figured someone had taken a shot at a grouse or pheasant and the steer had been in the line of fire some distance away

I found 2 air rifle pellets last year in two different cuts from the rear quarter of a whitetail I butchered, a roast and maybe a big steak. The deer was likely in someone’s garden and got some pellets in its ass.
 
Shot 2 moose on different occasions that were "carrying lead"
One was a 4-5 YO Bull. When we butchered him, we found a bullet
in that thick yellow strap along his back. The bullet was not expanded
and weighed a full 170 grains. FN, so probably a 30-30 from a long,
long ways away. No evidence of infection or issues for the moose.

The second was a cow moose, and on opening her up to dress her, I
noticed a decent sized lump on one rib. The rib was misaligned slightly,
so had been broken at the point where the lump was. In cutting the
lump open, there was a 22 LR bullet, lodged against the rib. It had not
penetrated into the pleural cavity, and was obviously from some time
previously. She probably had a sore spot for a while, but was in great
shape when I harvested her. Dave.
 
I get the butcher and goose thing but that brings up two responses. One, my butcher's reputation is solid and has been doing this for longer than most of us have been alive. Second, what water fowl hunter would use #6 on a goose?

I am pretty sure this was some nutter out with his shotgun hunting or just blasting and this deer crossed his path.

Probably a gardener tired of the deer eating thier flowers.
 
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.

Have cut pellet gun pellets out of a buck two years ago. They had gone through the hide but lodged shallowly in the shoulder.
