I was not able to remove it before cooking it, but once cooked I opened up the meat and found a cylndrical chanel filled with the pellet surrounded by the feathers that it dragged through the muscle. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

So it's not an issue. As far as the ones that have been hit in the chest, they are very easy to locate the pellets (after it is cooked). So I just break open the meat and dig out the pellet(s). _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

Remove your lead before you cook. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Remove your lead before you cook. I doubt it. Especially if the pellet is covered in feathers. Also, I try not to eat any of the meat that the pellet may have directly touched. Also, cutting open the raw meat to dissect pellets would basically ruin it. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers. Never needed any minister to figure my divinity.
