We're trying to get the lead out. Let's ditch the melting pot.

The citizen's petition to ban lead ammunition was denied by the PWC today.

Until next time.... They will beef up their offense while every other sportsman forgets about it. We will all be "surprised" the next time they try to ban lead.

Great news! Now if they would just allow us to shoot some of the thousands of Ravens we have here in Nevada that would be awsome.

Lots of raptors here in middle Montana.

I've been doing quite of bit of reading lately on this (lead poisoning) lately. I keep finding a lot of evidence of how raptors are being poisoned, but more importantly how the rates of poisoning drop significantly when a ban or alternative (hauling carcasses out) is put in place.

Golden eagles and turkey vultures have also had positive responses to chelation.

What confuses the hell out of me is why are condors in CA seeing the same benefits. That's the question I can't find an answer too. If you put a ban into place, and see a positive response in some species but no the key species you are seeking to protect, there must be something else out there or is it that the condors are ultra sensitive?

Condors eat the asphalt shingles off my buddies cabin in the Sierra's. They are their own worst enemy.
