Mentoring and being mentored is an invaluable aspect of learning to hunt different birds, training/hunting over dogs, and wingshooting. In this crowd source episode we ask people that are new to bird hunting and being mentored right now as well as those that have done significant amounts of mentoring to share about their advice and experiences, good and bad, and what has been the most helpful in their journeys.

LEAD

Crowdsource Session: Wildlife and human health are at risk of lead exposure from spent hunting ammunition. Lead ammunition is cheap, packs a punch, and is readily available. The critters that feed on spent pellets, gut piles or un-retrieved birds can consume tiny lead fragments but it’s often enough to kill them. In this episode we hear from numerous people researching the impacts of lead and talking about the use of non-lead ammo in hunting.
