We have discussed some about the problems of lead ammunition. Birds, such as Bald Eagles, will find deer gut piles that can contain lead, ingest the lead and it will poison them. This is why I use copper bullets when I hunt. One of the reasons people don't use copper ammunition is the expense. You can buy a box of lead-bullet cartridges for under $10. Copper ammunition starts at about $40 a box of 20.
Last year the legislature failed to pass a bill that would have required people hunting on public lands to use lead-free ammunition. I found this while I was looking at a possible trip to central California, where, if we go, we will want to spend some time looking for condors. It is a lottery for free copper ammunition for hunters who live in the range of the California Condor. http://www.ventanaws.org/ammunition/ Jeremy Powers 763-780-0732 [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Webitality Add me to your contacts <http://www.webitality.com/Jeremy_Powers.vcf> ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
