[QUOTE="KDM, post: 272322, member: 314"] I have the same thoughts about ducks and geese coming from the "poopy ponds" outside of towns. My thoughts are that pellets push feathers and whatever is on them into the breast meat and then these same pellets poke holes in the digestive tract on their way though the body, thereby allowing the gut contents to leak into the meat. Yes the liver cleans the toxins out of the blood, but doesn't do much for direct contamination via pellet holes. Just my thoughts about urban critters taken with scatterguns. Urban deer taken with arrows-bullets are a different matter. Single entry/exit that SHOULD be in front of the guts. If not, same concerns apply. That said, if the critters are properly cleaned and prepared, I see no real reason to not consume that which is taken in an urban setting. [/QUOTE]
