The Conservationist

[Robin]

Anyone else receive this magazine? This months issue contains an article on lead ammo and how terrible it is. This is how it starts, you can place a sure bet that soon we will not be allowed to use lead bullets. There is even a line in the article: This as a result of the SAFE Act, for you Fudd's that didn't know. A clear violation of federal laws pertaining to interstate commerce.
So anyway, I'm sure the big box stores will have a good supply of unleaded ammo as soon as another new law is passed, at highly inflated prices I'm sure.

I stopped reading the Conservationist when it decided it wanted to appeal to a more "urban" demographic and talk about urban parks than actual subjects like wild forests, wildlife biology, and...I don't know...maybe CONSERVATION!

To be fair it is a state run magazine so it clearly is part of the propaganda machine. Watch, in 5 years it will say guns are bad. Then in 10 years all hunting, including bow hunting, is bad. They pretty much do that with trapping now (I'm not a trapper or a bow hunter for what it's worth).

At least it acknowledges that its a challenge for NY hunters to get nonlead based ammo. Hey, maybe if they let us buy ammo online again then it'll be easy to get such said ammo. But they don't care about that. They don't want anyone to have any ammo.

Very true Cats, that magazine has gone down the tubes through politicalization and the correctness that enforces it. Pretty much run by women that have never been further outdoors than their local park. Sad, at one time it was the premier magazine of its kind and read nationally and internationally.
I receive it in an exchange for a service I provide, otherwise I would have cancelled it years ago.

I used to cast lead soldiers when I was a kid!!!!! Had a mold that did three at a time, one grenade thrower, one rifleman standing, one rifleman prone.
