(I couldn't resist the awful pun in the title...it was just handed to me. I had no choice but to use it...REALLY.)

The following review is from a blog I've linked to in the past, it's the Strange New Products blog.



Season Shot is the name of a new type of live ammunition containing buckshot loaded with meat seasonings. (Yep, really!)

When you shoot a Bird (with a real shotgun) the Buckshot disintegrates inside the flesh and releases its flavorings.

The idea came about with two guys who wanted to find a solution towards people breaking their teeth on buckshot when eating pheasant or turkey.

Season Shot comes in varieties of Cajun, Lemon Pepper, Garlic, Teriyaki, and Honey Mustard. Supposedly, they won't be available on the market until 2007.

So, is this for real? I did a search on Google to find out some more. Other bloggers had already picked it up, and apparently at least one reporter was convinced enough to mention it in print in The Birmingham News. I found another newspaper article that someone posted on a forum.

I tried calling the company's phone number, which was listed on their website, and I left them a message, and haven't heard back from them.

What do you think?
