I am not surprised, it had to come, they would prefer to see the over population of the deer and let them starve to death.

What I did not see, was who shot the deer that was tested, what kind of bullet was used?

Is it something that the normal hunter does not use?

I do not know much about bullets, but have read that some of them break more than others.

“This dermatologist must be some kind of environazi. “

Good chance that is the problem.

I have no idea. The image from the CT scan leaves a lot to be desired.

Bullets come in a variety of designs, but most for big game are designed to expand into a profile like a mushroom and stay intact, not fragment.

Ah... I had actually read about these earlier.

It seems they still have a few problems with the weight and length of the bullets and the rifling twist of barrels.

It won’t be long before copper toxicity and poisoning comes up, though! Soon we’ll have a cat scan of venison with tiny bits of copper showing.

Anything to get a foot in the door to get rid of firearms...

Thank you.

Good photo and it fits what I was thinking.

I am glad you could show me what I had read.

If you can’t keep them from eating paint chips, you can’t stop them from eating lead pellets...lol.

My vet said the story is ludicrous.

A couple years ago my retriever had his a$$ loaded u with birdshot... the x rays looked horrendous in the amount of lead in his legs & back [ enough concentration to break on of the legs ]... there was zero concern about toxic side effects...

This 'doctor' is a tool/plant...

Every critter I ever shot and ate had high-velocity lead poisoning.
