Grainger Hunt on lead bullets


For those of you still on the fence as to whether or not lead bullets are bad for people, read this. I was fortunate enough to see Grainger present this paper at the AOU meeting in Santa Barbara last year. Forget about wildlife for a minute and think of your family. Do you really want to serve up that backstrap with a side o' lead?

A lot of people have been talking about this paper, so here it is, thanks to your friends at peregrinefund.org
