I wondered if anyone would bring this up. Tony makes a great point about the birds digestive system. One thing no one has brought up is the fact that Bald Eagles are all around now and have been studied extensively for years. Continue to be studied, but the lead issue has never been a factor except for Condors. Hard to believe it wouldnt have caused a lot of these Eagles to become sick. Everytime I have been on a hunt in units 7, 9, 10, 8 I have seen Eagles eating the gut piles of elk or deer, etc. Why has this not been a factor for them, must be immune to lead. Amazing how quick we are to pass another feel good law!
