shotgun pellets in deer meat
« Reply #30 on: October 20, 2015, 03:38:08 PM »
My kid shots his first buck last Saturday and gets it home for processing and when skinning we realize that there is shotgun pellets in its hind quarters any suggestions as how to deal with this issue for safe eating?

My elk last year had a 22 bullet in it.  At least, I think that's what it was.  It was hard to tell after my electric grinder hit it.  I dang near broke my wrist when the grinder tried to jump of the counter when the blade ground to an instant halt.

That must be awful course ground meat to allow that large of piece to go through.  When I worked as a meat cutter we would find a few bullets when we cleaned the grinder.  Tried really hard to find all bullet fragments before it went into the process.  But if something has been healed over it can easily be missed.  Our grinders would never allow that large a chunk get through.

One time we had a guy bring in a large 4x4 blacktail.  It had five .25 pistol bullets between the hid and the ribs.  Surprised anyone could hit a deer five shots in a row with a  25ACP :chuckle:  Poacher was obviously not too smart, but must have been a pretty good shot!

I was serious about the detector, they can be gotten really cheap. Might save some uneeded dental work

Will a metal detector detect lead?

Yes a detector should be able to detect lead. I watch the TV show diggers sometimes and they are often finding lead bullets.

If you've pinched splitshot weights with your teeth, you probably injested more lead than you would eating ten deer with a bullet like that in it.   :twocents:

My daughter shot a deer a couple years ago. My butcher found a 22 bullet and 2 lead pellets in it. We do live close to town. I think the deer was a pest and someone was trying to run it off.
The 22 bullet was hardly deformed. Probably a subsonic round.

Here's a pic of the 22 bullet that fell out of some deer or antelope meat when I was getting ready to grind some burger. I'm glad it fell out before it got in the grinder.
