Well, I guess old Jedidiah Smith and other Old West mountain men must have been REAL contaminated, considering they only had lead shot in their muzzleloaders when they hunted venison and other game critters. Maybe that’s why Jeremiah Johnson went for eatin’ human livers...

Oh, for Pete’s Sake! (Excellent find, though; you’re so good.)

‘All your venison are belong to ME!’ What a bunch of #$&@&^ INGRATES.

More proof of what a lefty SCAM “Hunger in America” is. When I see the bodies in the streets (aside from the ‘Rats I’ve strangled myself over this issue) THEN I’ll believe that there’s absolutely NOTHING for people to eat. If we didn’t have such BOUNTY in America, this wouldn’t even be an issue!!

We’re having Venison Sloppy Joes, steamed Green Beans and Tater Tots for supper. Y’all come!

P.S. I HATE picky eaters. You have two choices under my roof; Take It, or Leave It, LOL!

Not that I seriously advocate banning firearm hunting, but it would be extremely pleasant if I could bow hunt from Sep to Jan without having to share the woods with the “pumpkins” I can’t see myself missing the “good old days”.

Bow and gun hunters had better learn to love each others company, once the gun hunters are gone, bow hunting won't be far behind on the banned list.

Then sitting around and talking about the “good old days.” is all that WILL be left of hunting.

You know if they haven’t taken it out and defrosted it I’ll be GLAD to take all the venison other hunters can donate.

I’m with you. I am SO sick of friends or relatives that can’t eat this or that because of their “health”, “diet”, philosophy, sociological or political stand, etc.

That’s OK, eat or don’t eat what you choose or don’t choose, just don’t feel compelled that you have to TELL ME ABOUT IT. I DON’T WANT TO KNOW, JUST SHUT UP AND EAT OR DON’T EAT OR HIT THE ROAD AND DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE,..... ON THE WAY OUT. And leave the wine for me.

Adios sucker, now scram.

Is this a stitch or what. If they haven’t tested the “particles” they could be anything from bone to, more likely, something picked up at the butcher. So much for the charity of hunters. I note the charitys on the receiving end aren’t complaining.

That’s true. And I have taught my children to hunt with guns, so I’m only kidding wrt “pumpkins”. That, and its extremely difficult to shoot dove and ducks on the wing with a bow ; )

I’m being 100% serious in this statement: If hunting is outlawed, I will be an outlaw hunter.

At different times, of course, the company is fine.

Don't think I've ever met a bowhunter who doesn't hunt during firearms season, though I'm sure there are some.

Next week, a skan with a broadhead in some poor persons free hamburger.

Let them eat cats.

Nice to know I'm not the only one willing to poach "The King's" deer one the royal forests are put off limits.

The enviroscum are nothing if not persistent...

I cain't hardly wait for the ingrates to turn down my offer of fresh Wild Turkey come Thanksgiving. It's a lot harder than it looks! *SMIRK*

A The desired pattern, good shot placement (point of aim is base of turkey's neck).

B This pattern shows that the bird is out of range at this distance.

*C Poor shot placement, good pattern.

*D Poor shot placement, good pattern.

*Poor shot placement is a result of poor aiming by shooter or the shotgun's tendency to shoot high or low; left or right.

I think the problem would be with children consuming it.

My daughter (5 1/2yrs) has eaten gun shot deer since she could chew. Her yearly lead test have always been negative. These tests are BS of the highest caliber.

The solid lead pistol bullets were leaving vaporized lead in the air of the indoor ranges.

And nice piles of lead dust on the ground under the exhaust fans.

If they are enviroscum, they are inconsistent. Wild game has the lowest GHG footprint.

Barnes X-bullets are solid copper and an excellent big game bullet. When I shoot a deer with one, it goes all the way through the rib cage and out the other side. There is no bullet left in the animal.....just two holes.
