[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1955485, member: 78438"] If you take your whole critter to a processor, there is a good chance they won't be as careful as you would be doing it yourself. I'm not bashing game processors, as some do a very good job, but they do usually charge by the pound, so it's not in their best interest to throw away meat that probably shouldn't be consumed. If you process your critters yourself, and take some basic cautions, you are not going to expose you or your family to lead. The chemicals used in seasonings/tenderizers/fillers/ and cleaning/disinfecting products are a bigger concern to me, so I make sure I'm in control of what I feed to my family. I am quite confident that I don't eat any lead, but I know that through reloading and handling ammunition, I am getting some exposure. There's nothing wrong with erring on the safe side, but there isn't any real, unbiased data to suggest that eating properly cared for big game animals shot with lead bullets is dangerous. You do have to keep in mind, that most studies done on subjects like this have an agenda that they are looking to uphold. Common sense will serve you better. [/QUOTE]
