Surprising find

The Stags have started roaring so I took the young fella out to try and get a stag. We spotted a nice one and managed to close the distance and make a great one shot kill. Smiles all round. . As I'm processing the carcass I recovered my bullet, 150gn ELD-X under the skin on the off side. Here's where it gets interesting. Sitting under the shoulder blade on the other shoulder is another bullet!. Completely healed, no bruising or infection. Obviously not the first time that stag had been shot. Best guess is someone took a quartering shoot that deflect ed off a rib and stopped under the shoulder blade.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...93cfc76cc8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ab52a73893.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f95e9827cd.jpg

Things you find hunting.interesting alright :)

Must have been a .270 :)

Shot a hind a few years back. When butchering it, recovered a bonus bullet that had broken its femur previously. It was resting up against the bone encased in scar and connective tissue. The bone was fully healed with a 45 degree kink and a protrusion poking out from where it hadn't set cleanly. You'd have never guessed from watching her walk around.

Ha ha ha ha Mrs Songhurst’s little boy Ryan might take exception to that comment.

Looks like you could still measure the diameter.....

Looks like 7mm or 308. couldn't be 270 unless it had taken another animal prior.

I had one like that recently on a red spiker.
223/maybe hornet etc cupncore embeded in back steak with no apparent meat damage, Looked like it was surgically implanted.
Only discovered when slicing up steak.

Punt the mortgage on it :thumbsup:

I skinned a goat about 17 years or so ago in skippers and it had a round ball on its hind leg. Was like someone just pushed it in there, i kept it for a few years and misplaced it. It was minimally deformed and at a guess was a .38.
The old black powder club must have gone for a wee walky.

Funny when you try be funny and then the photographic evidence seems to suggest it is related to your forum name though...

Priceless

Looks like an SST that for the first time in history didnt shed the jacket

Missing the magical 0.6mm to make it truly lethal.

Interesting. I found a. 17 cal in a fallow doe in the Blueys years ago. I figured some possum or rabbit shooter must got her the spotlight. It had not healed well. Can't be much fun carrying bullets around.

Your not wrong @Dama dama . I was surprised how well it was healed up. As a couple people have said it's amazing what the can recover from.

see, a fish getting off the spear and recovering seems really plausible for some reason. A deer getting vibe checked by a 7mm08 and recovering doesn't. Yet here we are.
