Four or five years ago a buddies dad shot a nice big old bull.  It had a broadhead in one shoulder, and broadhead in its back straps.  And 2 bullets in one of the hind quarters.  All were healed.

A couple years ago another buddy shot a buck that had a .22 bullet in its front shoulder.

Good god, no wonder many of these bulls hide come hunting season...

My neighbor shot a nice 3 point BT buck that had at least two pellets in it. Probably shot from a pellet rifle. I would love to shoot those pellets into the idiot that shot them into the deer.

If they don't want deer in their yards, then the idiots need to move back to the city where they belong.

God bless blacktail deer!

"lewy's" bull from last year had about 12 inches of arrow stuck right between its shoulder blades. the whole elk was festered and we got no meat off of about a 800 hundred pound animal!  :bash: looked like the bull had been shot from a tree stand around a month or so earliar! it sucked to lose all that meat, but lewy put that bull out of its misery for sure!

Found 7 1/2s, 6s AND 2s in a 5x7 whitetail a friend shot.  He was an alfalfa junkie ... that farmer hated whitetails ...
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I cant believe all the guys that have got bird shot in their bucks! WTF???

SO, in 1978 my dad killed a nice black bear in Oak Creek... when they gutted him out, there was a mass on the side of his heart... grissly stuff... they cut into it and found a broadhead! Man...there weren't even many bow hunters back then...what a coincidink....

I have heard a couple tales of big old bulls having multiple projectiles in them, like mentioned above!!!

my old man killed a speed goat in wyoming several years ago that had a .338 bullet just under the hide in a hind quarter, all healed over, who shoots speed goats with a .338?

Apparently someone with poor aim...  :chuckle:

Found my brother digging around in  my freezer looking for prime cuts of deer steak.

Does that count?

I think that kind of poaching should be dealt with by extreme prejudice.

I have found several myself bullets 22cal to 30cal and one arrow up under the back bone looked like they were taking an ass shot and lodged it in under the back bone.

My first deer was ancient old and a nice big muley.  His front knee was twice the size of normal and had a huge lead ball on it that had become encapsulated and healed.  He must have had a limp.  Also, in the same deer, he had a .22 or small caliber bullet in his backbone and it was resting against the spine.  He also had a larger slug in his front shoulder.  I have the rounds for each of these at home and should take a picture of the huge lead ball from the muzzle slug.

Ive killed several GA deer with 22 bullets in the meat...or just under the skin!

Ive killed probably half a dozen bigger hogs with broadheads stuck in their skin...hogs have a tough hardened plate of cartilage around the front shoulders...tough situation for a bow hunter...

This years mule deer killed in Oregon had a bb gun pellet in the hind quarter..maybe more..wait til I finish it :dunno:

and the worst news....  my elk this year had a strange chemical smell to it immediately upon walk up...  no meat seemed rancid...  but it was a STRONG odor...  nothing like Ive ever smelled before but Im no expert...

I took the head to show bucklucky and he said the same thing..started sniffing the meat...picking it up...smelling the femer bone..ect  he said he had never smelled anything like it :yike: :bdid:  a damn elk taxidermist thats confused...

 :bash:

Catwithboost cam over...not to help me pack it out...*censored*...  but to cut up the meat...and he is the biggest meat whore Ive ever seen...  he took not one pound of the offered meat!

I did give away plenty...  probably have 100 lbs left..still havent had the eggs to try it...

guess I should..even frozen in the freezer it stinks :bash: :'( :'(
