Found a little Suprise in my Elk meat

[Pazn25]

So as I was at my uncles house butchering up my elk we cut up he two hind quarters, all is well.  Great meat!!  Next we go to the front right shoulder.  As we are butchering it up we notice a lump in a portion of the meat.  We proceeded to dig into the meat and noticed the shaft of an arrow about 4 inches long.  Then we cut down to the shoulder blade and noticed another part of the shaft.  About another 4 inches long.  This part went int the bone and the bone actually grew around it.  There was a hollow hole in the bone where we had pulled it out.  Never found the arrow, poor guy had a rough last year or so.  Just thought I would throw this out to you guys.  Has anyone every came across anything like this?  I know me and my dad shot a deer 12 years ago that had the actual arrow in the bone.  we boiled the bone and got all the pieces out and saved it.  Lets hear what you all have to say.

I found a .22 round in the hind quarters of the whitetail I harvested last year. Some A-hole had apparently plunked the buck with a .22 at least a year prior. Probably some freakin' poacher or kids out shooting $hit for the hell of it. Either way, it actually got me a little upset just thinkin' about it.

Found about 25 shotgun pellets in the backsttrap of a mule deer my dad shot a few years ago. It had to be the backstrap. It sucks that it happend at all but i was really pissed that the best part of the deer was litterd with lead pellets. I would love to have a chat with the idiot who shot that deer.

found a .38 slug under the hide in the back lower leg of a buck I got a few years ago. wasn't healed yet I thought maybe he had a tick or something and kept biting at it and caused the wound himself but when skinning I found the slug and measured it. It had hit just below the knee and tumbled without breaking anything.
a friend got a buck with a .22 slug in the base of an antler a few years back.
my butcher friend tells of finding broadheads, arrows, in lots of animals.

for two years straight both my deer and my dads had bird shot in the meat and under the hide. All four deer were killed in the same spot. We went and talked to the nearest house from where we hunt and the guy told us he was shooting them for getting into his garden. He never shot any more after our talk.

Found a 22 bullet stuck to the rib of a doe I shot a couple of years ago, the bullet didn't break the rib was just stuck there and had a membrane that had grown around it.

I had a friend that shot a bear with an arrow on Long Island, did not recover bear, the next year shot another bear in the same area, guess what? when they butchered it had his arrow still in it from the previous year all healed up around it.

Never any arrows, but was helpin pack out a bull a couple years back that had 2 muzzleloader balls behind the shoulder. Shot a buck in late archery that had a large bullet hole in the ham, the wound was infected and stinking. I lost some meat but glad he didnt suffer to long.

i have found deer that have been shot in the past never a full bullet but a few little pieces off of the bullet, one of my friends shot a 6x6 bull that had about 2" of alum shaft and a old thunder head 125 stuck in the shoulder.

While skinning a buck I had taken during late archery found 6 shot peppered under the skin and in some of the front shoulder meat.

I have found numerous 22 bullets in the breast meat of turkeys I have killed

I've never found anything. I remember in high school my shop teacher brought in the head of the 2 pnt BT he shot that had a broadhead half way through the nose. The deer must of broken the arrow shaft. cause it was all healed over.

I knocked the head of a grouse last year with my .22 rifle and when I got home and skinned the bird out he had #6 shot under the hide
