Lead Ban Chronicles – North Dakota To Start Accepting Hunter Killed Venison Again
Just saw this over at the Outdoor Pressroom. Last year, following the mayhem and panic about lead fragments in venison, North Dakota food banks stopped accepting venison taken by firearms. The panic appears to have receded a bit, and common sense has returned.
A North Dakota program that distributes venison to the needy will resume accepting deer that have been killed with lead bullets.
The North Dakota Community Action Partnership, which administers the Sportsmen Against Hunger Program, accepted only deer killed with arrows last year, fearing that firearm-shot meat might contain lead fragments.
Check out the article from the Grand Forks Herald.
That is definitely good news. I’m glad to see that someone finally used common sense after initially having knee-jerk reaction to a “problem”.
