Hunting & Fishing Smoked Turkey

[Wading]

Smoked a breast from late last year and when cutting into it these greenish dots were in it. Yall think this may be from copper plated shot from when someone else made a bad shot? Kinda makes ya think twice about eating it.

It’s fine, I’ve seen that a bunch. Yes it’s from the pellets. Looks like a fine job you did in the smoker!

Thanks a lot buddy, I hate to throwaway food. i guess its time to throw it all in my stomach.

You're welcome, I'm sure we have eaten way worse stuff from a restaurant than a little lead in wild game once in awhile.

It tastes good and smells nice i was just concern about the green mold. But not anymore.
Good to know others have experienced this.

i second the opinion of eat it if it really bothered you then perhaps trim the tiny little spots out but having grown up on dove and pheasant and lead shot ive learned to chew around them and spit them out .... the shot pellets that is
