The authors used a very small sample of only 10 deer. And, while the research assumes that \u201cthe number of deer being sampled was equal to the number of deer submitted by the hunters for processing,\u201d there is no evidence to support this extrapolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Centers for Disease Control (CDC)&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nssf.org\/share\/factsheets\/PDF\/EatingGame_TradAmmo.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-study-game-meat\" title=\"Study on Game Meat Skips Science\">study<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;of blood lead levels in North Dakota hunters validates what hunters have always known: consuming game harvested with traditional ammunition containing lead does not pose a human health risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The average lead level of the hunters tested was actually lower than the blood lead level of the average American, including non-hunters.<\/li><li>The average lead level of children in the study was only .88 micrograms per deciliter of blood; the CDC\u2019s level of concern for lead in children is 10 \u2014 more than 10 times the amount found!<\/li><li>The difference between participants who ate wild game harvested with traditional ammunition and non-hunters was only .3 micrograms \u2014 a clinically insignificant number.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018Potential\u2019<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The study involved radiograph imaging of their game samples to find \u201cpotential metal fragments\u201d based purely on appearance. This technique is fraught with error, as the imaging cannot reveal what the potential fragments actually are. Rather than metal, they may have been bone fragments. The notion that tiny pieces of lead can disperse widely through dense flesh is dubious at best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with the small sample, and the flawed use of imaging, the results show that most of the packets did not contain suspected fragments. According to the report, \u201cThirteen of the 27 ground venison packets (48%) from shotgun-harvested deer contained at least one metal fragment\u2026In packets from shotgun-killed deer that contained metal fragments, the number of fragments ranged from 1 to 3,\u201d again not showing a vast disbursement of fragments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further eroding the methodology, the authors note that, \u201cDue to budgetary limitations, not all suspected particles could be analyzed. Seven suspected metal fragments from six packets were chosen for chemical analysis because they originated from a single deer via a single commercial processor.\u201d This means that out of the 10 deer the samples came from, only samples for one single deer from one processor was tested to see whether it was lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shifting Standards<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When this small sample was tested, the report found, \u201cThe elements copper, manganese and lead were below detection in 93.9%, 10.2% and 79.6% of the analytical subsamples, respectively. At least one subsample from each sample had a detectable quantity of lead.\u201d These underwhelming results are far from a persuasive argument against the use of traditional ammunition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors seem to agree, stating that \u201cAn average serving selected randomly from any one of our packets (shotgun-harvested, commercial processor) would be predicted to have lead concentrations within the range from BD to 8.42 \u03bcg g\u22121, or a dose from~0.00 to 4.4 mg of lead in one serving.\u201d Despite the small, cherry-picked sample from a single deer and processor, the analysis still found that a serving of meat from that deer could have a dose of 0.00 mg of lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the authors\u2019 discussion of other literature on this topic, they note that there are studies that have found even less lead exposure from game meat. The authors argue against averaging lead concentrations across an entire animal, as other researchers have done, although that \u201cmay be a statistically more rigorous measurement of lead concentrations\u2026\u201d They argue that their less rigorous measurements better estimate the actual ingesting of one or more fragments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/hunt365-take-the-shot-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-study-game-meat\" title=\"Study on Game Meat Skips Science\">Take the Shot?<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is easy to dismiss such thin research in an academic setting. But unfortunately, the study made it into the&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wglt.org\/post\/study-central-illinois-venison-often-contaminated-lead\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-study-game-meat\" title=\"Study on Game Meat Skips Science\">news<\/a>,<\/strong>&nbsp;further promoting the flawed results. In the news article, the authors equivocate metallic lead shot with other sources of lead such as paint chips, without any mention of the fact that metallic lead is not as easily absorbed by the body. At the very least, the researcher quoted acknowledges that he does not know how much of these fragments would actually be absorbed by adults. Although, he inexplicably leaps to an argument that children would \u201ctake up about half the lead they ingest into their body\u201d with no research cited in the article or in the study itself for that assertion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NSSF encourages the media and hunters to carefully read studies that attempt to disparage the consumption of game taken with traditional ammunition.
