Hope these both open
I found tons more on the internet.
Seems Robins are the new "canary in the cage" for detecting and quantifying lead and amounts of in soil.

This issue really is a "No Brainer". We don't need some anti-hunter trying to rub our nose in it. All I have to do is think about how many hundreds of rounds of .222 lead ammo I loaded for my Sako Vixen every year and along with my buddies went shooting ground squirrels, and woodchucks, or...
Open the topic yourself, just start some basic research, ask basic questions and be amazed. In 2013 for example, 69,000 metric tons of lead were used in America just for ammunition alone.
The figures for Europe are about 40,000 metric tons of lead every year for ammunition. Most of this goes...
What you have done is "Open up a can of worms".
Not that many years ago i had a hay farm. My last one i should say, also i grew up on a dairy farm. So many toxic issues are involved in agriculture, nitrogen fertilizer, antibiotics in feed, plus things like allowing varmint shooting on crop...
The amount of lead in game animals shot with lead core high velocity bullets would never even come close to passing current heath standards for toxic heavy metals. Big Game animals shot with lead shotgun slugs and lead muzzle loader bullets would do much better. It is an issue micro...
Thank you,
The answer to that is of course yes.
But my issue is getting somebody, hunt wise, and field capable and in shape, willing to get up real early, and hike places in the dark early and late.
For decades my hunting partners were my age, did deep recon tours in Vietnam. Moved like a mist...
Thank you for your response,
Drilling Pad ? What county do work in ? Maybe I once lived nearby.
There is an old saying from some of Africa's original tribal hunters. "Nature never holds anything against a hunter when he is coming from genuine need "
Barring some teenage foolishness, I have...
A Perfect Elk Place
Seven years ago, I won two antler-less elk drawings in a row. The first was a tag for a state elk hunt zone and my second successful drawing was for permission to use that tag on thirty thousand acres of private land in that zone. Public access has always been very...
Mule Deer, Muzzle-Loader, Ash & Rawhide Snowshoes, Plus two Green River Knives
While becoming the “Snowman”, I watched the thick white flakes build up on the heavy wool Poncho that covered my arms, shoulders, torso, lap and legs. I was sitting on it too. I bought it almost two decades earlier...
Congratulations on a spectacular hunt in equally spectacular country. Thank you for such a fine video detailing your hunt
I watched it wearing a T shirt seeing my bare forearms on my laptop. Still have these long, skinny, scars from so long ago caused by Cat Claw (Acacia thorn bush) so...
I totally agree and will add more reasons for an "End Of Conversation" status
It is newer and ever so powder efficient, so it operates at a higher pressure than a 30-06 thus equals extra velocity.
It is .30 cal and that opens the door to cheap lead bullets downloaded for endless practice and...
Over the past dozen or so years my final and fourth 308 has really come into its own as my do all rifle.
I have had a 308 in a pre 64 model 70 featherweight, no prize for accuracy, also had one in a Savage 99 lever action, also a Featherweight model. It was a 1.5" at 100 yards rifle that just...
