lead shot vs steel shot
« on: July 14, 2003, 04:55:14 PM »
I am new to hunting and I was wondering if it is safe to eat small game you kill with lead shot, or should you go with lead?

I would like to know if I could use lead being as how steel is tough on your barrel.

Yes it is safe to eat game shot with lead or steel shot.  Don't swallow the lead shot!   :lol:   Also, be very careful of game shot with the steel.  Before cooking, feel around all entrance holes to make sure there's no shot in the meat.  I bit down on a piece of steel once in a duck breast and darned near broke my tooth - several people have!
