[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 1938352, member: 879"] Troutslayer2: The OP's Thread is about lead in big game meat. Not lead in drinking water (horrible). We have strayed pretty far from deer and elk killed with lead core bullets. And most of these stories are not "someone said" but personal experience of hunters who have eaten game killed with lead bullets for decades. I am certainly one of them. No one is suggesting that lead doesn't have a toxicity level for human beings. It does. The question is: has anyone ever ingested enough lead from large game animals killed with lead core bullets to actually reach that level of toxicity? That study has not been done yet to show that some have definitively been harmed by eating big game. To be on the safe side one should: 1. Use bullets designed to retain weight (not varmint bullets) and 2. be careful to cut away all meat surrounding the wound channel [/QUOTE]
