Lead Ban Quiz #5
NO!
(Did I scare ya, yelling and all?)
I may not use lead ammo in that .44, even if I am bowhunting.
Think about it, a law enforcement officer isn’t going to know if you’re “secretly” planning to drop the bow and hunt with the pistol instead. And regardless of intent, the law is designed to keep folks from leaving lead-laced carcasses in the field. Even if you finish a hog with the pistol, or kill one in defense, the end result is still the same.
So, if you’re hunting big game or non-game, leave the lead at home.
So now, here’s an open book question (use the DFG website):
Which of the following are NOT approved for big game hunting in the CA Condor Zone (pick all that apply).
A.) Nosler eTip
B.) Extreme Shock
C.) Barnes TSX
D.) Hornady GMX
E.) Nosler Ballistic Silvertip
F.) Lapua Naturalis
