I am posting this in a few threads because it's that time of year.
I would hope some hunters and fishermen out there have a New Year's resolution - Switch to Non-Lead Ammunition and Non-Lead Fishing Tackle. This is for Bald Eagles, for other raptors, for wildlife, for your family, and for the environment's sake. So many deaths can be prevented. You can make a difference.

Try using Nosler E-tip and Ballistic Tip Lead-Free bullets.

And, 2 months later, here's a newspaper article that discusses the research. Every side of the debate is discussed.
