Look at what I found in my venison steak

[jackmaster]

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Probably in the sac....that would take me out...

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

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.
