MWF knows that hunters care about wildlife and they have shown a willingness to do the right thing in defense of wildlife. In Montana, we are seeing too many occurrences of our wildlife becoming critically ill due to lead poisoning, contracted from consuming lead left in gut piles. While this is an unintentional repercussion of hunting with lead ammunition, the impact can be mitigated when hunters switch to lead-free alternatives.
As a committed Montana hunter, I will do my part to make Montana a lead free landscape for the good of wildlife and all Montanans.
I pledge to:
1. Only use non-toxic ammunition, such as steel or copper, when hunting.
2. Where possible, practice at established ranges so lead on the landscape is confined to specific, manageable areas.
3. To educate others on the benefits of hunting with non-toxic ammunition by sharing my knowledge and experience.
Lets get social! Show us how you're going lead-free by using #leadfreemt on social media.
