Got into hunting this year, pulled an elk tag so need it for that as well as coyotes All I've been recommended is savage arms and Remington 700.

I had a news alert on my phone pop up about this and did some looking into it. I found this article to be a bit better than the clickbait-y one that popped up on the alert, but there's only a couple articles out at the moment and they have very different takes on it.

Would it be obvious from examining internal organs such as the liver etc? The main reason I ask is because I live in the suburbs and often shoot/eat squirrels out of my garden. I never thought about it until recently, but a family member asked me if doing so was safe due to the chances of the squirrels eating rat poison somebody may have put out in their garden etc. Any knowledge y’all could share with me in this regard would be extremely helpful! submitted by /u/harambruh1738 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
