I captured a few birds up-country this week, and just prepared a couple of Ruffed Grouse breasts for the pot and wonder where the shot pellets have gone to. I followed the wound channels with my sharp-tipped mini-Sabattier knife and excised the bloody bits of flesh and the embedded fine feathers, but could not find any lead shot.
Will they be found only in the eating; where have they all gone?
