I think it would take up a lot of time and effort to try and dig out every piece of shot from a bird but I'd really like to try the whole raw feeding plan and in the shooting season I can get between 80/100 birds a week minimum for very little cost , it's just the shot that I'm concerned about weather or not it would pass straight through the dog or if you think it would have a detrimental effect over time ? These birds are usually destined for the game dealer and human consumption so I'm thinking of getting a big chest freezer and giving it a try unless you fellas think it would be a harmful build up of toxins in a dog ? Thanks, Worzel.
