The Effect Of Lead From Hunting On Other Wildlife

By Tim Peterson

The Northwoods Wildlife Center recently found a bald eagle with high lead toxicity levels. They think it had been eating prey that contained lead. We talk to a wildlife writer and researcher about some of the history of lead bullets use in Wisconsin hunting, and what alternatives there may be.
