[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1401382, member: 20599"] Well, we do know lead is toxic and tends to persist...[url=https://www.extension.iastate.edu/forestry/tri_state/tristate_2013/Talks/Lead_and_Wildlife.pdf]https://www.extension.iastate.edu/fores ... ldlife.pdf[/url] It does seem to be a problem if huge numbers of people use it... That article had the cost of lead-free as twice that of leaded, but another study said that they were fairly comparable now, as demand for lead free has gone up??? I just don't see the need for it especially in areas like wildlife refuges. I have no problem with hunting for food, but leaving behind toxic waste that will kill animals (and persist in the human food chain) seems self-indulgent. To me,if you can afford to travel to a wilderness area to hunt, you can pay a few pennies more for a lead-free bullet..But I'm still thinking about this and learning about it. I guess what people do on their own property might be a different story... [/QUOTE]
