    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.

    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.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    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.
