I'll add I got no dog in this loonyism thread, this chit gets old and deep.


Okay, another experience quoted from another:

" As we caped him, we found a 1" fibrous mass forward above his right shoulder, below his spine, and just under the hide. After cleaning it out we discovered that it was a copper jacketed bullet. This bull had been shot years prior and the wound had healed over, sequestering the bullet in fibrous tissue- tough old bull."


Thoughts on above? What would O'Conner say? Aagaard? Hagel? Mule Deer? You?
