Thread: Meat Contamination

I love shoulder meat, best part of the deer after the heart. But I don't take it if I've put a bullet through it, not because of lead but its just not worth all the effort of salvaging shot damaged meat. So I assume that way my family and I are not getting much lead in our diet.

Neck and head shots save a lot of meat, but I like big targets...

If you are really concerned use monolithic copper bullets; no lead, usually shed very little weight (think very few tiny bits of contamination), and usually exit.
