well i skinned and quartered the big doe last night. man someone has been shooting birdshot at her. i don't understand why someone would shoot birdshot at a deer. she had so much fat on her the shot just made it under her skin. none of it even made it into the meat. a$$holes!
 
That sucks[down] People are just plain dumb. Why would you do that? Whatever, at least you got her[up]

I'm sure she'll taste just as good[up]
 
see those bird hunters are just as bad as the 6 day doe gunners....[hihi][hihi]just kiddin while walking around pheasant days ive found dead robins and cardinals some guys just wanna be killers not hunters[down]
 
Put a doe doe in Z-4 a few years back with the muzzy she was acting nutty as hell figured she may have slipped and hit her head on rocks or even got tapped by a car as I could see there was something really wrong with the one side of her face, so I took her out, turns out someone shot her dead in the side of the face with bird shot [down] looked like a day or two old already she had a cracked skull [mad] Some people need to take ethics classes before walking in the woods [wallmad][wallmad]
 
It happens more than you think it would.[down] I always wonder if a deer gets up in front of a bird hunter....do they actually think they will kill it by shooting at it? Or do they just wanna shoot their gun?[confused]
 
Deadbolt butchered the spike I got the other day, he told me lastnight, that he fund one single buckshot pellet lodged in the deer causing a large area of an infection, he stated at first everything looked fine, but the deers reproductive organs where all messed up....they are amazing animals
 
Was Dick Cheny hunting the tit recently? [rofl]
In butchering deer I have found various hardware that did not contribute to the death of the animal. The projectiles (from previous wounds) that I have found include broadheads and their parts, pieces of arrow shaft (and one complete arrow shaft, encased in scar tissue, in a backstrap), bullets and bullet fragments, tons of buckshot pellets (usually in the ham) - a few slugs - and scads of .22's (poachers choice). One little doe that I shot had a thunderhead in her snout. Some wounds were recent with signs of infection and/or healing but most were completely healed with the offending projectile either completely clean or encased in scar tissue. Sometimes there is a green cheese filled abcess that contains the projectile (and the accompanying hair) with the surrounding area walled off by scar tissue.(the whole idea of an abcess) I have never found bird shot in a deer though. The one exception was a small six, years ago, that was killed at 15 yards with a load of #6 shot. he had a 12" pattern on, and through, his rib cage. That wound killed him, no question, even though the hunter claimed that the arrow wound did. The arrow wound had no sign of hemorrage on the cut surface but those pellet holes each showed profusion....translation.....the bird shot killed the buck and the arrow was pushed into his side after his heart stopped beating.
