Look at what I found in my venison steak

[pd]

My wife nearly broke a tooth last night during dinner.

This is a copper BB, which was embedded in a Blacktail that I harvested. (I used a slug on this deer, so it wasn't mine.)

Was this somebody's buckshot?  Some kid's prank with a BB gun?

[Fowlweather25]

I would say an angry gardener.

[MtnMuley]

.........had to have been from a tribal hunter

[jordanramos_79]

Thankfully your wife didn't lose a tooth!

[Boss .300 winmag]

I think you can blame Skyvalhunter. 

Heres mine taken many a trophy elk with it!!
 

[boneaddict]

In the old days we used to dig those out of our butts after we had non sanctioned BB gun wars.    Those don't happen these days though.

Yep sounds like he would be a good 1 to blame it on..

Back when kids could be kids, wore helmets, goggles, and lots of padding, no more than 3 pumps on gun.

    ahhh...those were the days.  I can still smell the charred hair from roman candle wars during the 4th every year...

Bunch of goof balls. Oh wait I had fun in my day to. Some was a bit painful

That made me laugh..

[bowhunterwa87]

My last years whitetail was the same. Probably found around 15 in it..all were probably #4 shot.

the good ole days, i swear i only pumped it twice     

[REHJWA]

I took a while to conviced my wife it's perfectly normal for kids to shot each other with BBs.    It was easier now that's we have air soft wars... They keep the deer out of the garden too

[Mike450r]

I found a .177 caliber lead pellet just under the hide of a deer a few years back.  This deer was too far out there for it to be an angry gardener so I figure it was just some idiot that thought it would be funny to shoot a deer with his pellet gun.

[JackOfAllTrades]

In the days before legal pistol hunting in Wa, I pulled a 38 caliber slug out of the rump of a Blacktail I harvested once.  Glad I didn't chomp down on that one.

My wife's grandfather shot a deer with a Red Ryder style BB gun that was in his garden in Salmon, Idaho. The deer dropped dead. He's not a hunter and didn't know what to do with it so a neighbor helped him and they hauled it somewhere and threw it in a dumpster.   

He says he never did figure out where he hit it. He was aiming for the rear.

[boneaddict]

All the joking aside, eventhough its true, "We lost" a young man from the rez a number of years ago from the  same thing you just described Bobcat.   The BB went in the armpit and managed to miss any rib, and hit the heart.  Killed him.  I bet it was more than two pumps.  I believe it was his brother. The facts have blurred.    It was a very somber room of folks trying to save him. 

[Duckwacker]

I pulled this out of the neck of a blacktail I shot during muzzle stuffer season a few year's ago.

[WSU]

I've always wondered how close you would have to be for birdshot to be lethal.

Wow, that's so sad.

If I ever would have shot at anything other than a stump or popcan with my BB, my dad would have broken it over his knee.  I read these stories about the good ol' days of shooting eachother with BBs and get a little confused    I know it doesn't lead to violence necessarily but I was taught gun safety with cork guns and BBs and I never would have considered a BB war.

By the same token, I probably got more lumps on my head from rocks and rotten apples wars than any child should have ever had   

[dscubame]

BB gun wars were sweet.  Good ol childhood right of passage.  We had a 3 pump rule but that was never followed.

Boy do i here that! it was my old mans rule with us kids that a gun was not to be pointed in the direction of a human END OF STORY,wheather it was a BB gun or a huntin rifle!...but man do i remember some good apple fights sometimes chestnuts and prunes too ....could be why i enjoyed throwin a baseball later on

[Pete112288]

This thread turned into something to think about. I admit I partook in a couple bb gun wars. We had a 1 pump rule. Went fine for a couple times. Just had little bee sting welts. But after I took a bb to the eyebrow, right on the ridge of my eyesocket and it swelled up to golf ball size and bled like a spicket we finally smarttend up and went back to dirt clod wars. Gives me a whole new perspective with little ones of my own  now. I know what my dad would have done if he found out and now I almost wish he would have caught us the first time we thought we would try it. We never could have apple wars. My dad swore as long as there was a marble size piece of not rotten apple he would still salvage it for applesauce even when we had 30+ margerine tubs full of it in the freezer haha.

Texas heart shot. 

[hunt6226]

ohh the memories..  Dad never knew. if he had we would have had our butts beat..

[chinookie23]

If my son EVER pointed, let alone shot at somebody else with his bb gun i would bust that gun over his ASH!!! just saying.....

[Jellymon]

Looking at this on my phone I thought you found a dime in your steak.

[DOUBLELUNG]

I remember an old whitetail buck a friend shot NW of Kaycee WY years ago, near some alfalfa fields.  We found 71/2s, 6s, 4s and 2s under his hide, we figured the rancher upped the shot size each time he saw him in the alfalfa!

[DOUBLELUNG]

Apple wars brings back a good memory with a twist.  My best friend and I were about 12 when he bet my older brother he was too chicken to poke a HUGE hornets nest on the back of the barn.  Just as my brother was about to touch the nest, George and I started firing green pears from behind him.  It was well worth the beating.

[HornHoarder]

bb gun wars werent allowed. I knew a kid that almost died, and another that lost an eye.

Instead, we had pinecone fights.  Those always seemed to end with someone crying/bleeding from a face shot. You just hoped it wasnt you that day.

[SteelheadDC]

Had one of my back teeth shattered during a bb gun war.  Had an implant done, this was a long time ago when it was quite a major procedure.  Still paying for it, 2 years ago had to have implant removed and a bone graft done on my jaw which wasnt cheap.  If I had it to do over, no way I am going out there for a bb gun war..... but when your 16 it was a heck of a lot of fun.  My best friend still has a bb in his leg next to his femur, funnest part is that it was self inflicted

[wafisherman]

Yeah, no bb gun wars for me either.  Knew kids that did it though.  I also did shoot a few neighborhood pigeons.  Started shooting small birds with that little daisy bb gun and was pretty dang accurate.  Knew it was wrong.  But kept doing until I shot the beak of a little bird.  Made me sick and never did it again.

My friend shot me point blank with a bb gun we were playing war with.  Right in the stomach and put a hole my t-shirt.  He lived with is grandma who was VERY strict and he was lucky she trusted him with it.  Right as he shot me, I bent over and probably was about to cry or otherwise show a normal reaction to a point blank pellet gun to the gut (wasn't a daisy).  Well, just then his Grandma comes around the corner.  I knew he'd be toast, grounded for 2 weeks to a month (I literally wouldn't see him that whole time), and would never see his gun again.   So I just stood straight up and smiled and said 'hi'.  Kicked his a$$ later 

We also did lots of pine cone fights.  And a few times, at my grandparents who lived near the south sound, we had some epic jelly fish fights.  There would be thousands of them along the docs and beaches - the small clear ones.  Not everyone has had a jelly fish fight I bet 

[pd]

Yeah, sorry, I didn't manage that photograph very well.  Next time I will put the BB on the left-hand side.

Never had a jellyfish fight but did put a huge purple one (filled a 2 gal bucket) in a friend's toilet.  I can still hear her screaming ...

Now that you mentioned this I will tell you a little story .. Someone I know done just that ...shot a 2 pt in the arz to scare it away from his apple trees ..That night while sitting on his couch a couple wardens pulled up and ask him if he shot a deer in his yard ..he said yes  He told the warden it was in his apples and he shot it in the butt hoping it would not return ..Well the warden told him that you are right about one thing . He then ask what ..and the warden said it will not be returning because it is dead in your neighbors yard  A couple grand later ..got busted for hunting out of season 

[jackmaster]

I heard if you dry a jellyfish out and grind it into dust you can pull all kinds of fun pranks :tup:might have try it and put urban the arse wipe in the guys bathroom

[hunter399]

I've always wondered how close you would have to be for birdshot to be lethal.

  10-15 feet on the buck i shot when i was a kid we were deer hunting (before i owned a rifle)I was useing a shotgun and i woulnd keep slugs in one pocket and birdshot in the other.Took a shot at a deer and thought i had the slugs in and had birdshot instead.Shot it in the neck and went down right there then i went to check it out.thought it was dead grabed it by the antler ,it came alive right in my hands.I had to hold it down with my foot for about 10 min before it was dead.One of the first bucks i ever shot.It was size 6 birdshot that i was useing for grouse.
