    Hello everyone, I got my first buck with a Bow this past week here in western Ma. In the process of butchering the deer I found this clear plastic disk in its front leg. it has a 14 stamped into it. My taxidermist says it may have come from a muzzleloader ?

    any idea what it is?

    SWAG, I would say a wad for shotgun slug ? But looking at the close up I would agree that it looks like the base of a muzzleloader bullet.
