How can hunters help species vulnerable to lead contamination like condors and eagles?
• Spread the word that lead is poisonous to humans and wildlife alike. • Remove carcasses that have been shot with lead ammunition from the field and bury gut piles. Remove and safely dispose of all lead from carcass wounds when processing meat. • Use lead-free ammunition. Hunters who leave lead-free gut piles behind provide a vital seasonal food source for all scavengers.
