[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1927472, member: 7999"] I have a question. Is the push for lead ban for human health or birds? I guess I always thought it was to do with end food chain birds. I was recently contacted by a guy doing a documentary on the effects of lead on the big birds of prey. After talking with him for a while I agreed to meet with him. I made it clear that I wanted nothing to do with the film if it has any kind of an anti hunting bent or pushing for legislation against lead for hunting. He assured me that it would not and that I would be able to view the film before it is published and I could pull out of it if I wanted to. In our discussion it came out that the thinking of lead levels in the birds comes more form varmint hunting where the entire animal is left and completely consumed by the birds. I look forward to seeing the research. I know years ago when the banned PCP (I think that is right) in pesticides due to it causing thin egg shells for the raptors, it resulted in a great come back for the birds. [/QUOTE]
