Interesting find when slicing jerky

[Norteno]

I decided to slice some meat from the freezer and make some quick Carne Seca. Halfway thru I hit something hard. Look and sliced thru a bullet. I was pretty surprised because I thought I found most of my bullet when we processed my deer.

When I pulled it out I noticed it was not my caliber. Compared to my 3006 round and yup a lot smaller. This was in one of the hind quarters. Looks like someone made a bad shot on this guy and he lived to see another day. Lucky for me.

Round looks pretty small to me. I'll measure diameter tomorrow at work.

 

Anyone run into something like this?

Very cool! Was it a WT?

[pwrguy]

Yep, definitely not your caliber. Interesting!!!

A buddy shot an elk that had a muzzy slug embedded in his skull plate and a Thunderhead broadhead that had gristled up lodged in his spinal area. They are tough animals.

Yes.

Three different bullets in my bull elk. One in the front shoulde, rear quarter and hind leg knee.

interesting find! it's truly amazing how these animals can survive being shot.

Cool. Luckily it was your knife and not a tooth.

I often wondered how many times a butcher ruined a blade do to this exact thing. It could be costly for sure. Thanks for sharing.
