I'm coming around to the lead ban. With two bald eagle nests on my property, watching two new ones every year and knowing these magnificent birds are scavengers, I'm going to have to find a non-lead solution to killing vermin.

Every year in several nearby places where I hunt from a blind, bald eagles keep a close eye on my activity while sometimes soaring fairly low or perching on snaggy dead trees. Anything that swims off before my dog gets there, or falls at distance from my decoys, is taken by eagles. That's whyI shoot non-toxic.

But what about the raccoon populations I'm trying to lower with the .22 as they try to invade my vineyard protected somewhat by an electric fence? I have been heaving them over a cliff near the shore, hoping the eagles don't find them. Or feral cats that don't last long because they take rabbits from snares? I'm going to become an angel! No lead.
