Second when hunting with a shot gun how do you deal with all the pellets in the meat? I kind of Leary to put a bunch of lead pellets into something I plan on eating.

I use 6 shot when shotgunning (4 shot if hunting for swamp bunnies). After you skin it, you can readily see where the pellets hit, then pop them out with your fingers or a pocket knife, and cut out the bloodmeat with it.
Or you can use the shot pattern like I do. I hit them just right so that the center of the pattern hits the bunny in the vitals, and the outside of the pattern clips all the vegetation around him so it falls in a pile under him. That way he falls on it and it keeps the meat from bruising.
