SilentButDeadly Report post Posted June 4, 2009 Here is the link to an abstract of some folks who fed lead to Turkey Vultures. The birds surely died of the lead poisoning -- however they say that 'they are not good models' for Condors because it took 'too long' for them to die. So the question is still unresolved of how much damage the lead is doing to the Condors... similar to the pigs eating venison study... I'd say that this study does show that lead can have an effect on birds -- the biggest question though is always 'causation' -- whether or not the lead was directly responsible; or if it was something else (inbreeding, illness, injury, or age), or a combination of many things.

TAM Report post Posted June 5, 2009 This is not a question of weather your copper bullets performed well on deer north of the Grand Canyon. This is a question of weather or not you want to have more of your hunting and gun rights taken away by left wing activist groups. Who cares if your bullets flew straigt or left a good blood trail. None of that matters. We need to stop letting new laws like this creep in on our hunting and second ammendment rights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
