I was rifle elk hunting several years ago with my uncle. He shot a really nice five point bull in some reprod. Got up to it and one of the back legs, all the way up to the hip was nothing but skin and bones. After getting it home, we found a muzzleloader bullet high up in the leg. That was one of the nastiest things I've ever seen. It was green, yellow and full of all sorts of clots and puss pockets. We did not end up eating that elk. Called the gamey and he offered a new tag, but said he would have to take the antlers. My uncle ended up just keeping the antlers.
