LOL ...

If you'd like to be on or off this Upper Midwest/outdoors/rural list please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.

No reason for the homeless to eat free venison when the government can buy beef. My recollection the results of this "study", I think it was simply a single Doctor, weren't universally accepted.

Another example which proves that the difference between ignorance and stupidity is that ignorance is finite.

I seriously doubt there is lead contamination to any appreciable extent outside of the wound channel unless it’s due to mishandling of the meat during processing.

My dad told me that Einstein said the difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.

If I remember correctly.....

This is, what, like three years in row with these stories? The morons just won't give it up. (I'm NOT criticizing the poster, just the maroons that provided the idiocy.)

[cyborg]

What is that?

I seriously doubt there is lead contamination to any appreciable extent outside of the wound channel unless it’s due to mishandling of the meat during processing.

From what I recall from the followup studies, there was a much higher concentration in ground venison, which imo would point to mishandling. If the food pantries are concerned, there's no reason they couldn't do a quick xray, I believe some are already. IMO the eventiual objective may be to disrupt hunting by ruling certain bullets illegal. It's a shame, aside from the fact that there are a far greater number of gun hunters, I know I'm far more likely to donate late in the season. When my freezer is filled from bow kills.

worrying about lead from deer rifles is silly

squareheads=scandinavians/germans who settled those areas

don’t tell me you haven’t seen Long Riders?

[mountainlion]

Why don't they just tell them that they don't have to eat the bullets? Arrows might be better for picking teeth< I will concede. Barns makes all copper bullets.

Do they make the homeless eat meat tenderized by trucks?

[autumnraine]

Obviously a non-hunter put this initiative together.

[cyborg]

No I haven’t but I’ve heard the term ‘squarehead’ before. I’m still trying to figure out the term ‘squarehead’ :D

[SJackson]

I guess. My ancestors homesteaded south of there, I doubt they’d have had any concerns.

[WOBBLY BOB]

I’m only donating deer that was killed by a shark with a laser beam on it’s head.

[wardaddy]

to be fair, the squareheads shot up the shite out of the James Younger gang and for good reason

it’s a great movie, one of Walter Hill’s first

you can rent it in the western section at BB

“...children under 6 and pregnant women avoid eating venison.”

Oops! I’ve raised three boys to adulthood. All started gnawing on venison chop bones as soon as they broke their first tooth!

Looks like the pantry shelves will be empty this Christmas season in ND.

Thank a dopey Liberal! :)

i have eaten plenty of shot from duck and dove hunting

never ever from deer, the bullet just doesn’t break up that much...usually
