I have eaten a lot of game meat, big, small and lots of birds. But, loon........ What is your recipe for that??
As for lead, I remove all I can see in the initial dressing, excise the wound channel and spit out an occasional missed pellet when enjoying the meal. I suppose I may have swallowed some lead in life. Not yet exhibiting any symptoms of lead poisoning nor am I about to start worrying over it. Have outlived contemporaries who wouldn't have ever dreamed about eating shot game, enjoying a single malt or crossing the street, other than at a corner.
I do what I can to mitigate risk but I'm a fatalist. When my time comes, it will be because it is my time. If my demise is linked to decades of hunting, well the quarry got its revenge but I had a good time along the way.
Cheers,
Jack
