  • Gunshot Wounds: a Source of Lead in the Environment
    GUNSHOT WOUNDS: A SOURCE OF LEAD IN THE ENVIRONMENT 1 2 RICHARD K. STROUD AND W. GRAINGER HUNT 1US Fish & Wildlife Service, National Forensics Laboratory 1490 East Main Street, Ashland, OR 97520-1310 USA 2The Peregrine Fund, 5668 West Flying Hawk Lane, Boise ID 96056 USA E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT.—Ingested lead shotgun pellets and rifle bullet fragments have been shown to be an important source of lead poisoning in water birds, raptors, avian scavengers, and even seed-eating birds. Ingestion of spent lead shotgun pellets by waterfowl and secondary ingestion by Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocepha- lus) scavenging on waterfowl led to the change of hunting regulations that prohibit the use of toxic lead pellets for waterfowl hunting in the United States. However, bullets containing toxic lead are still widely used to hunt large game animals and “varmints” and are a source of lead in the environment available to wildlife. Basic bullet materials available to the bullet manufacturer include lead alloys, lead with external copper wash, lead core with copper jacket, pure copper, and bismuth. Lead and bismuth are highly frangible, whereas pure copper bullets tend to remain intact after impact. Bullet fragmentation increases the degree of lead contamination in tissue ingested by scavengers feeding on hunter-killed animal remains. Modern bullet design, velocity, composition, and bone impact are significant factors in the character and distribution of lead particles in carcasses, gut piles, and wound tissue left in the field by hunters. Prior to the 1900s, bullets were made entirely of lead. Their velocities were relatively slow (<2000 feet per second), and their ten- dency to fragment was accordingly lower than that of modern ammunition.

  • Hunting in Okeechobee
    Hunting in Okeechobee If you are planning a hunting trip to Florida, Okeechobee County should be your first consideration. Lake Okeechobee provides the best duck and alligator hunting experience in the southeastern United States. The areas surrounding the lake also have incredible hog and Osceola Turkey populations. Types of Game You Will Find in Okeechobee Wild Boar Florida and, more specifically, Okeechobee has large populations of wild boar. These animals cause a lot of problems, and they damage the orange groves and sugar canes in the area. There is an abundance of wild boar and are many different wild boar hunting opportunities and methods in Okeechobee. Duck The swamps and marshes around Lake Okeechobee are home to several duck species, including ringers, green wing teal, blue wing teal, black belly whistlers, and mottled ducks. There are many different duck hunting locations in Okeechobee, and you can choose from a wide selection of duck hunting methods. Alligator Florida is home to thousands of alligators, and Okeechobee is the ideal location for a gator hunt. Alligators are predominant in Lake Okeechobee and along Kissimmee river. There are also private land and ranches with watering holes and dairy reservoirs that are open to alligator hunters. Turkey The hunting grounds south of Lake Okeechobee is one of only a few places in the country where you can hunt Osceola turkeys. Other areas around Okeechobee are also home to Rio Grande, Merriam, and eastern turkeys. You may even find a few Osceola gobblers as the Wildlife Commission transplanted many of them to the north. Fish If you are looking for a comprehensive bow hunting experience, you can bow fish the marshes in Lake Okeechobee.

  • A Death of Ethics: Is Hunting Destroying Itself?
    https://mountainjournal.org/hunting-in-america-faces-an-ethical-reckoning A Death Of Ethics: Is Hunting Destroying Itself? From killing baboon families to staging predator-killing contests, hunters stand accused of violating the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. Now they’re being called out by their own by Todd Wilkinson Coyote taken in a winter predator hunt in Wyoming. Photo credit: #chasin_fur Instagram Right now, as you read these words, it is perfectly legal in the state of Wyoming for a person to climb on the back of a snowmobile and chase down wild wolves, pursuing them until they drop from physical exhaustion. And, if that’s not enough, you can then run them over relentlessly with the machine, injuring them until they die. You don’t need a hunting license, nor even a bullet to kill a wolf. You can do the above with impunity across roughly 85 percent of Wyoming which, as the “Cowboy State” encompasses almost 98,000 square miles, including vast sweeps of public land and excluding only federal wilderness and places where motorized restrictions apply. You don’t need a reason to justify your actions either. Even if game wardens were to bear witness, it is highly unlikely you would catch any flak—unless your conduct happened to startle a deer, elk, pronghorn or domestic cow or horse, and then you might earn a scolding for harassing wildlife or livestock. In fact, wolves, which were recently taken off the list of federally-protected species and their management handed over to the state unconditionally in 2017, can be killed by virtually any means, any time of day, any day of the year, without limit in most of Wyoming.

  • Coyote Rifle
    The “Perfect” Coyote Rifle In his senior year of high school, my youngest son and hunting partner, Ben, needed a Senior Project. Ben is an avid predator hunter, long range shooter and gun nut so he chose to build a rifle for his project. He would be working under the tutelage of a local mentor. Ben is also both careful and artistic in his approach to his responsibilities so his mother and I blessed him in the endeavor. School rules and personal finances precluded him from building the rifle for himself so, never being one to miss an opportunity to add to my rifle collection, I funded the project for Ben and we began to plan The “Perfect” Coyote Rifle. This project, like a work of art, is in the eye of the beholder. Our own tastes and experiences as well as our priorities and needs influence our decisions. My needs and tastes may differ from another hunter’s so defining those parameters may be in order. The Objective The AR-15 could arguably be the perfect platform for a calling rifle. AR’s are very accurate. They provide rapid follow-up shots. And, they are quickly and easily modified for different applications. I ran a two or three year stint with AR-15’s and, while I still own some AR’s, I have gravitated back to bolt rifles for calling. I cut my teeth on bolt action rifles and, while the AR-15 is a very effective coyote rifle, it is a different beast than a bolt gun.
