Index of Subjects --047d7b34335c6c209104d8ca89d7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Thanks Ken, and to Paul and Darrell, lead in any form in the food chain is bad, be it from spent lead ammo or fishing tackle. Though most of my discussion is about spent lead ammo ( most commonly ingested when eagles eat gut piles left behind in the field), I do talk about lead based fishing gear too. Lead is lead is lead..in any form..and really has no safe place in the food chain of wildlife or people. Come to my talk on Thurs if you can, I welcome any and all questions!
