That's not good enough, of course. Before hunters take to the fields and woods five months from now, they'll need to know a lot more about what happens to a bullet when it hits a deer -- and what could happen to the people who eat that deer.


Meanwhile, the experts had <b>some interesting ideas about how hunters could shoot deer more "carefully," and how meat processors might examine venison closely to make sure no microscopic bullet fragments end up on the dinner table</b>.



Heh!

Bullets need to be made less lethal and since the element lead has been a part of nature longer than the existence of humans, it's our responsibility to assure a safe and complacent human and lead bonding in peace. :lol:

Next we will have to sign a waiver before we can buy a hunting and fishing lic acknowledging we understand the risk of lead poisoning from the animals we shoot and fish we catch.

As with all other issues politically, the band plays on....

Issues and concerns are the trough of sustenance for politicians and when life in general is good, issues and concerns need to be created. :wink:

For what it's worth, I've met with State Sen. Chaudhary and dined with him and his wife at several M.O.H.A. Legislative Banquets in recent years. I don't think he is one to take a knee jerk reaction to something like lead bullet fear mongering. I do know that he has worked very hard in the effort to protect hunting and fishing traditions in our state. For years he was a sponsor to the Shooting Range Protection Act bill in the State Senate that finally got passed into law a couple of years ago. While my politics go toward conservative and his are more liberal, I have found him to be a person that you can talk plain talk with.

Scott, if you have had previous contact with him, can you call him and ask him for a copy of (or link to) the Pawlenty/Holsten proposal to ban lead shot he references in this press release? http://www.senate.mn/members/member_pr_ ... 85&id=1639

His press release doesn't line up with this: http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Read.aspx?id=3783

Hi Dean, I will try to contact the Senator and get some feedback from him. It seems to me (if I am reading correctly) that he withdrew the lead provision from the Omnibus Bill as he thought the matter needed much more thorough investigation, not just a "knee jerk reaction".

Sen. Chaudhary said, “When we are considering a big change like this, it’s fair to pause and make sure our information is on point. I was under the impression that the ‘experts’ in the DNR had done this.”


I really want to get to the bottom of the Pawlenty/Holsten element in this matter. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Hmm.. Could it be that The Senator proposed the ban because some info from the DNR said that it could be a problem, found out that the information that he had to support the ban was flawed, then retracted the proposed ban until people got their facts strait?

My gut tells me that is the case. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the DNR types from various states were getting together to discuss common issues. I'm getting a feeling that some enviro-wacko, sky-is-falling types are somehow getting inside and making an endplay. And I am not at all comfortable with what Tim Paw might be up to. :x

And the media are giving their full support to this end play. :evil:

Tim Pawlenty? He's doing what is best for him as all politicians are expected to do these day's.
