Strange Diet


Deer have been known to eat some weird things, but three deer killed on the Fort Polk Military base in Louisiana were found to have a stomach full of old bullets and shell casings. There were two bucks and one doe checked in with the strange stomach contents.

It was speculated that the bullets had been on the base for years and had gotten sodium or other salt built up on the outside which prompted the deer to consume them.

They recovered a total of 64 bullets and did not feel the deer’s diet posed any threat to the hunters who planned to eat the venison.

I have removed or seen removed some mighty odd items from creatures, but that takes the cake. I wonder, if a hunter made a really bad shot and hit the deer in the ... bullets... would the deer blow up???
