Old wounds

[Old Man Yager]

My dad got a nice 4 pt bull in forks area years ago, had a round ball in it, and a broad head. Butcher was not happy that his saw blade had cut the broad head in 2 pieces. I shot a 3x4 Blacktail one year, one of his front legs was about 4 inches shorter than the other, old wound, had a big deformity in the leg right below the shouder

killed a bull the third week of rifle season (Montana) last year.  Found 8 inches of arrow with broadhead attached completely inside the chest cavity, no indication of a wound from the outside.  The arrow was lodged next to the backbone in some connective type tissue.  Just some slight blood stain under the hide on the chest.   Arrow had probably been there since early September.

killed the bull in my Avatar during Rifle season, upon skinning found 10 inches of arrow lodged between hide and ribs. Looked to be a hard quartering away shot that deflected and ran under the hide instead of penetrating. Would have been a money shot had it not done that. Bull scores 356 and I'm sure someone still has that shot haunting them to this day.  I kiilled it in 2009.

First and only Bear I shot with a friend while skinning it I found a .22 bullet in him. Was aged at 9 years when I sent in the tooth. Figure it must of been a farmer keeping him out of the garbage or something. Thinking too he'd gotten pushed out of his home because where we shot him was in low farm land.

Killed a spring turkey north of Spokane that had multiple .177 cal pellets in it that were healed over.  Guessing he was wintering in someone's yard.

My bear had a shoulder full of birdshot.   Very little made it into muscle, but enough did that I had to be careful eating pepperoni.

Still have an Allen Lightning 3 razor with piece of aluminum shaft out of a high mountain buck. Must've been in there for quite a while, had a nice grapefruit size pus pocket surrounding it
