Press release from Arizona Game and Fish Department:
Non-lead ammunition supply issues across the nation are prompting the Arizona Game and Fish Department to remind hunters in the California condor’s core range that they can still help reduce the amount of lead available to the birds by removing gut piles from the field. Hunters in Arizona’s condor range that remove their gut piles (lead ammunition only) are eligible to be entered into a raffle that offers prizes including a trip on the Grand Canyon Railroad with a 2-night stay at the canyon, Cabela’s gift cards, Navajo tribal lands deer tag, Navajo rugs, Grand Canyon National Park passes, and others . . .
“Game and Fish understands how frustrating it is for hunters to not find non-lead ammunition as part of the department’s free non-lead ammo program, but the supply issues are beyond the department’s control,” said Allen Zufelt, the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s condor program coordinator. “Game and Fish is equally frustrated with the non-lead ammo supply shortages. However, hunters can still make a difference and participate in the lead reduction effort by removing their gut piles from the field.”
In the last six years, 85 to 90 percent of hunters in Arizona’s condor range have voluntarily either used non-lead ammunition during their hunts or, if they used lead ammunition, they removed the gut piles from the field.
Lead poisoning has been identified as the leading cause of diagnosed death in endangered condors and the main obstacle to a self-sustaining population in Arizona and southern Utah. Studies suggest that lead shot and bullet fragments found in animal carcasses and gut piles are the most likely source of lead exposure. Many hunters do not realize that the carcass or gut pile they leave in the field usually contains lead bullet fragments. Gut piles from animals harvested with non-lead ammunition provide an important food source for the condors and should be left in the field.
Information on non-lead ammunition and how hunters can help is sent by mail to those drawn for hunts in condor range. For more information on condors and lead and a list of available non-lead ammunition, visit www.azgfd.gov/condor.
Good to see so many hunters exercising personal responsibility. I’m no hunter, but most every one I know is good people.
Apropos of nothing, a new toy for the gun free zone [sm] that surrounds the Washington Navy Yard shows its stuff:
A gunfire detection system has captured about 39,000 gunshots in D.C. since 2006. http://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/shotspotter-detection-system-documents-39000-shooting-incidents-in-the-district/2013/11/02/055f8e9c-2ab1-11e3-8ade-a1f23cda135e_story.html
Sadly, here in NJ the joke is that you need to prove you’ve already been killed before being considered for a carry permit. And then denied of course.
Simple just republish here the stories that deal directly with police misconduct involving firearms.
Do it!
Because if you are prepping for the zombie apocalypse make sure you will look cool killing zombies.
Sounds like they have it all figured out. And yet…they are often reluctant to get into head-to-head debates.
I think it’s important to keep in mind that Mrs Mount is not the bad guy in this at all. I notice a lot of people saying she should have kept a low profile or she shouldn’t be so obnoxious of a parent, etc. She is a veteran and a gun owner, why should she be ashamed of either of those things. The whole idea that we should be forced to keep our enjoyment of guns on the DL is absurd. It lets the anti’s win. When they shame you into thinking it not ok to talk about they are winning.
She had every right to post a picture. She was probably proud and excited to become a member of the armed public. I know I was when my first CCW came in. And why shouldn’t she be? As to her being an obnoxious parent, the thing the story above doesn’t relate but other articles on this incident do, is that her daughter is disabled. Yeah, that kind of makes a difference in how parents respond.
So what we have here is a Army vet, responsible gun owner, law abiding citizen, caring parent, and school volunteer. She sounds too dangerous to me, or not. The principal, the school, and the board owe this woman a deep and sincere apology. The principal deserves to hear from all of us about what a turd she is being as well. Should you wish to send her a respectfully worded email she public school email address is [email protected]
Remember Mrs. Mount is the good guy in this and Dr Dallas is the one who is completely in the wrong.
