All of the remaining venison contributed for food pantry distribution in three states is being dumped due to possible lead contamination. Studies show that well over 60 % of the study sample had lead fragments (most so small that they can only be seen on X ray). Over half million lbs were contributed by hunters in Minn. N.D. and Wisc. last season. No mention made of how much had already been consumed.

I heard that on the news the other day...Some Doctor in Bismarck ND came out with this....I think he is a ANTI....Or owns a Beef farm.More so anti-hunter/ing

Actually, acording to the newsarticle, he's a hunter, Ranger. So, I'm not privy to his motivation. But it doesn't bother me in the least. Been hunting with all copper bullets for years (Barnes X and TSX). Not only do they not contain any lead but 19 consecutive one-shot kills with 5 different non-magnum, "marginal" chamerings (of which the 280 Remmi is the largest), tells me I'm onto a good thing.

I shoot my tick toters thru the ribs and i don't save them. so itdon't matter what i shoot them with. its a shame all the good meat has been dumped.

Ditto!
