22 bullet in deer burger?

[singleshot12]

  Frickin people why can't they do things right this is the second time I found a 22 bullet in my deer meat. Went to grind a couple pounds this morning for spagetti tonight and my grinder hit this. Anyways my question is do I have to worry about lead poisoning now? Who knows how long that deer carried a bullet. I hope I got all the little pieces removed after my grinder almost broke

You'll be ok.
Probably an acquaintance of ucwarden had something to do with this?
Glad your grinder made it ok.

How do ya know it's a .22?

As we were skinning a deer my brother shot this year, we found what looked like a #4 buck pellet just inside the hide on one of the rear quarters.  We suspected that the deer was getting into the farmers garden a little too often.

Seemed to be the same weight but coulda been a 25 cal

looks like it has a jacket? I think most 22 lr bullets are alll lead or plated lead id guess a centerfire if it has lead and jacket material.

I was just thinking it might have been a fragment from a larger caliber.

you should be able to tell pretty easily if it were from a rimfire .22 based on construction.

Well the grinder hit it pretty hard,but one end has what looks like the parcial base of a 22 bullet.

Come to think of it over the years I've found lead shot in a cow elk and 177 cal pellets in two deer. Even found a bullet inside an antler that apparently was hit during velvet.

.22 Hornet or .17 HMR maybe even .223 - .243 they are all small cal. jacketed
Kinda looks larger than Rim fire in the pic

Do you hunt near houses and their gardens and flower beds?

Found a bullet in the shoulder of my buck this year. .223 as far as I could tell from my measurements. Tough old buck

No there was no sign of a jacket..pretty sure it's .22 cal

No but that doesn't mean the deer I hunt don't travel. The woods are surrounded by a few homes and there are a few bad apples around.
