air gun ant 1,666 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Finally got out last night for the first time this season, I got 3 teal but I came to breast them today and two were fine, but the third........ As soon as i started to pluck the breast I could see little white things about 5-6mm long like grains of rice, I cut the skin and in to the breast and they were right through the meat? Looked like maggots but weren't moving or anything and I only shot the thing at around 8-8:30 last night? It's in the bin now but what was it? Eggs of some sort? I was gonna take a pic but seen as I can't post them anyway I thought sod it lol Cheers ant Quote Link to post Share on other sites

air gun ant 1,666 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 It was last thing in the bin if I take a photo I can email it to somebody if they would put it up? Is it pretty rare then to have it all through the meat? I've been shooting wih shotties for 3 year ish but its the first I've had like this? Cheers ant Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seen an article in a ducks unlimited magazine explaining what it was afterwards but i cant remember what it was!! I wouldn't eat it anyway. I'm sure there was something in the BASC magazine last year about it too. Some sort of disease and it wasn't recommended to eat it!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
