    To protect eagles, hunters and conservationists rebuild old alliances (non-lead ammo)

    Hmm, last thoughts before I go out and do more work building my horse barn,,,and yes I do have a mustang, an 11 year old mare named Rose. Soon I will be 75 years old, and this hunting season will be my 57th big game season. I have one blanket rule about hunting. I will not hunt in any way...

    To protect eagles, hunters and conservationists rebuild old alliances (non-lead ammo)

    To get a fuller understanding of environmental issues, like lead bullets for example, one has to look at the relationship between the CDC, the Center for Disease Control, and the CDC Foundation which is a private organization. What goes on with these two organizations, one governmental and one...

    To protect eagles, hunters and conservationists rebuild old alliances (non-lead ammo)

    A lot of what you say has enough truth to it, so I will not argue beyond saying that you have collected all the worse scenarios. In one form or another I have had and seen all those experiences play out, especially during those earlier years when Barnes was beginning. All that said, I was a...

    To protect eagles, hunters and conservationists rebuild old alliances (non-lead ammo)

    Back then I was living off wild meat all year. A year-round wild boar season made that possible. The only factor that changed was no longer eating meat shot with lead core bullets

    To protect eagles, hunters and conservationists rebuild old alliances (non-lead ammo)

    In a joint study with the Vet school at Washington State University and nearby University of Idaho they shot pigs with lead core bullets then fed the meat to pregnant sows. It was a wakeup call about how much lead got into the sow and her unborn piglets. That is why food pantries will now only...

    To protect eagles, hunters and conservationists rebuild old alliances (non-lead ammo)

    I once was a licensed hunting guide in the Condor area in California. I was able to operate year-round since i guided near exclusively for wild boar. One of the biggest reasons i stopped guiding was having hunters show up without non-lead bullets which was required by law. Well in advance when...

    A brawl brewing in spokane?

    How old ? Past breeding age, past passing on great genes! Good biology. Still of healthy breeding age bad biology. Don't target the best. Two years I happily shot a fork horn that was in the presence two exceptional older bucks. Say what you want about me, but i practice what i preach

    To protect eagles, hunters and conservationists rebuild old alliances (non-lead ammo)

    Sorry I missed your post till now. I totally support everything you are saying. I went non lead 1n 2008. I would never go back. In the first two years after i stopped using lead bullets my blood lead level went from 5.5 to 3 mg. with my blood lead level

    A brawl brewing in spokane?

    Here is an example of an old but new model of "Good Biology" in hunters. The International Order of Saint Hubertus is a worldwide organization and knightly order of hunters and wildlife conservationists under Grand Master Istvan von Habsburg-Lothringen that promotes traditional hunting ethics...

    A brawl brewing in spokane?

    I spent nearly ten years delivering annual pro-hunting presentations to a very politically active branch of a major conservation organization. I doubt any of you have done something like that. Mostly you just stay in your informational bubble and give each other the same feedback. The national...

    The "CWD is a HOAX" movement is building

    What bothers me is how many other species we are also dooming. When in South America I actually got to see a Huemal. The Andean version of a white tailed deer. 99% gone now in so many places down there. Out competed by five non-native species imported for pleasure hunting. Hope these pics...

    A brawl brewing in spokane?

    Wow,,,Yes, you are missing some huge things. Let me offer you a window that most non-hunters or anti-hunters see hunters through. Please forget about donating your meat to food pantries, unless you have an archery tag. Otherwise, they will no longer accept it due to real concerns about...

    One gun/caliber to rule them all?

    Since I got my 280AI in a 5 3/4 pound real accurate Kimber Hunter it has sent rifle after rifle either packing or becoming a safe queen. I sold my 2nd 35 Whelen, sold my 300 win mag. (I had already sold my second 338 Win mag) It is a half pound lighter than my Sako Finnlight 308, shoots flatter...

    One gun/caliber to rule them all?

    I have had two 35 Whelens. One was a custom Mauser. I loved them dearly. Hunted with them for decades when I was shooting big tough wild boar literally by the truckloads on depredation permits. After I got my 280AI and used it for a few years I sold lots of other rifles, my last 35 Whelen...

    One gun/caliber to rule them all?

    For me, the answer to this post lies these few question. Do you reload? Is most of your hunting in open country or tight country? What is your max sized game animal? Are you basing your answer on reality or fantasy? If one reloads, the 280 AI has all the math and powder efficiency anyone...
