Recreational hog hunting popularity soaring

NATCHEZ, Miss. (AP) — A quick tap on the roof of the electric hunting cart and the pop of two rifle shots and Jody Greene and Jeff Goeggle have taken down their first hog of the night.
It’s one of hundreds they will kill this year; they bagged 420 last year.
Goeggle’s tap on the roof of the cart signals he has spotted a hog, and he and Greene both shoot to ensure one of them hits the animal. It’s a routine they’ll repeat during approximately 200 hunts in 2014.

Boone and Crockett Club: Drone hunts ineligible for records
Heading out for the big hunt? Leave your drone at home.
The Missoula-based Boone and Crockett Club, North America’s oldest hunting and conservation organization, has announced that any game scouted or taken with the help of drones or other unmanned aerial vehicles is ineligible for entry into its records program.
“Boone and Crockett likes to, as much as possible, set the standard for fair chase,” said Richard Hale, the chairman of the club’s big game records committee.
The club defines fair chase as the ethical, sportsmanlike and lawful pursuit and taking of any free-ranging wild, native North American big game animal in a manner that does not give the hunter an improper advantage over such animals.
“These drones, like all technology, have advanced rapidly. We need to be responsive to the way technology is changing things,” Hale said Sunday, adding that several states, including Colorado and Alaska, have already moved to ban the use of drone-aided hunting.
Curbing the use of technology is not new for the Boone and Crockett Club.
In the 1960s, the group declared that trophies taken with the use or assistance of aircraft, including spotting or herding game, would be ineligible for its prestigious records.
“We already don’t allow things like trail cameras that could send an image to, say, your phone, or pursuing game in a vehicle,” Hale said.
He said if Boone and Crockett or even state wildlife agencies take a wait-and-see approach on new technology, companies and other groups can develop an entrenched interest in seeing such technology stay legal, and lobby against any moves to limit them later on.
The Boone and Crockett Club was founded by Theodore Roosevelt in 1887 to promote the proper management of wildlife and encourage hunting sportsmanship. Its international headquarters is in Missoula.
Drone-Assisted Hunting Banned in Alaska

by Rose Eveleth smithsonianmag.com
Alaska takes big game hunting seriously, and, in a recent meeting of the Alaska Board of Game, the state officially banned the use of unmanned aerial vehicles to help hunters track prey.
Alaska Wildlife Troopers told the board that, while drone-assisted hunting was still rare, they worried that, as the technology got cheaper, more hunters would start using it, Casey Grove at Anchorage Daily News reports. In 2012, a hunter took down a moose using a drone, and troopers couldn’t do anything about it because the practice wasn’t technically illegal. “Under hunting regulations, unless it specifically says that it’s illegal, you’re allowed to do it,” Wildlife Trooper Captain Bernard Chastain told Grove.
To get ahead of potential problems, the board decided to make spotting and shooting game with a drone illegal. This is similar to the law that bans hunters from using aircraft to follow and shoot animals. With aircraft, it’s legal to shoot the animal if you take it down a day or more after spotting it with the plane but, with drones, any kind of tracking and killing will not be allowed. According to Grove, these laws stem from a “principle of fairness”—not to the animals, but to the other hunters. “Other people don’t have a fair opportunity to take game if somebody else is able to do that,” Chastain says.
According to Valentina Palladino at the Verge, this isn’t the first use of drones banned by hunting communities. Colorado will vote on a rule that would require permits to use drones while hunting. And in Illinois, PETA’s drones, which were tracking hunters, were made illegal. And not only can you not hunt animals, but delivering beer by drone is apparently also a no-go. Spoil sports.
Lead that’s left behind threatens local wildlife
March 16, 2014 8:45 pm 
By Staci Matlock
The New Mexican
Two thin bald eagles brought to The Wildlife Center near Española in January died despite efforts by staff to save them.
The culprit was lead poisoning, according to blood tests and necropsies performed on both birds.
Lead ammunition is a deadly problem for animals and birds, even when they haven’t been shot with it, according to Katherine Eagleson, executive director of The Wildlife Center. In the case of the two eagles, they likely scavenged carcasses of animals that had been shot with lead bullets.
Lead ammunition in carcasses left behind by hunters is one source of lead that can poison wildlife. Lead shot and bullets used for target practice in rural areas like a stock pond on the Caja del Rio mesa is another source of lead poisoning. A third is lead sinkers anglers use to weigh down fishing line. Waterfowl accidentally consume abandoned line weighted with the sinkers or eat fish that have ingested the tiny lead sinkers.
Eagleson said there are plenty of other ammunition choices.
“We’re not saying don’t hunt. There are alternatives that work. Go buy them. It is a simple fix,” Eagleson said.
While steel shot is more expensive and some gun enthusiasts say it isn’t as accurate as lead bullets, Eagleson suggested hunters “get closer and hunt better.”
She said there are plenty of alternatives to lead sinkers that aren’t more expensive.
The link between lead and health problems in humans and animals is widely known. Lead accumulates in tissue over time. In people, it has been linked to anemia and neurological problems. Lead was federally banned from paint in 1977 and from pipes for drinking water in 1981.
The health impacts of lead shot on waterfowl and scavengers have been heavily studied in the past few decades, but impacts on other wildlife have been studied less. A 2011 study found high levels of lead toxicity in a free-roaming cougar in Oregon.
The federal government banned the use of lead shot for hunting waterfowl over water bodies in 1991 after it was estimated that 2,700 tons of shot was ending up in wetlands each year. More than 30 states, including New Mexico, have some restrictions on lead ammunition. New Mexico bans the use of lead ammunition when hunting common moorhens (marsh hens), soras (marsh birds), Virginia rails, snipes, doves, band-tailed pigeons, upland game or migratory game birds on all lands owned or managed by the state Game Commission.
New Mexico’s neighbors vary widely in restricting lead ammunition. Colorado bans lead shot only in the Alamosa/Monte Vista/Baca National Wildlife Refuge Complex.
But that still leaves plenty of land where lead shot can be used. It is particularly popular for people who shoot coyotes. Those carcasses are eaten by a variety of other wildlife that may eat the lead shot, Eagleson said.
Texas bans lead bullets for use on game birds in wildlife management areas and federal wildlife refuges. In 2013, California became the first state to ban all ammunition containing lead. The ban will be phased in completely by 2019.
Not everyone agrees with restricting or banning lead ammunition.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation trade group opposes any bans or restrictions on “traditional ammunition” containing lead cores unless “sound science” proves lead bullets adversely affect wildlife, human or environmental health. Hunters have used lead-based ammo for centuries without adverse health affects, according to a statement on the group’s website.
Studies of lead toxicity in wildlife and birds are available from The Journal of Wildlife Diseases, http://www.jwildlifedis.org.
Bill allowing gun silencers while hunting passes out of committee
By Jim Siegel
The Columbus Dispatch • Wednesday March 12, 2014
Despite opposition from the League of Ohio Sportsmen, which called it a “bad bill with good intentions,” a House committee yesterday passed a bill that would allow Ohio hunters to use silencers.
Larry Mitchell Jr., executive director of the organization, said the goal of allowing hunters to use silencers should be accomplished through the Ohio Division of Wildlife’s rulemaking process. He said that route would be quicker and more flexible than passing legislation and putting it into law.
The bill, he said, “opens the door to the General Assembly to take away the authority of the wildlife professionals to write rules that address both the safety of our angling and hunting community but also address wildlife management principles.”
“With a few calls … this could all be handled in a few weeks,” he said. Asked if talks with the Division of Wildlife about changing the silencer rule could continue if the bill passes, Mitchell said the agency is generally reluctant to take on a new rule if a bill is moving.
Follow @OhioPoliticsNow for more news from the Statehouse
Supporters say the use of silencers will help protect hunters from hearing damage.
Also yesterday, about 50 members of the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence marched to the Statehouse to lobby for action on another piece of legislation, House Bill 31, which would set standards for safe storage of firearms. The bill stalled after just two hearings.
Rep. Bill Patmon, D-Cleveland, sponsor of the bill, said losing one child killed by an unsafely stored gun is unacceptable. “If you don’t trust your child with knives, hot water, lawnmowers and running cars, why would you trust them with a .45?” A violation of the law would be a third-degree misdemeanor.
On the silencer bill, the Buckeye Firearms Association played host to about 20 lawmakers and legislative aides in February at the Black Wing Shooting Center in Delaware to demonstrate the effect of placing a silencer on a .45-caliber pistol and .308-caliber rifle.
Some lawmakers were unfamiliar with the impact of a silencer and were concerned their use would make it difficult to know if someone is hunting nearby, or illegally hunting on private lands.
An audiologist from Ohio State University recorded a 15 percent or more reduction in volume with a silencer. It was enough, he said, to protect ears from damage but still loud enough to be heard from several hundred yards away.
Asked by Rep. Gary Scherer, R-Circleville, whether the bill addresses what happens if silencer technology improves, Mitchell said approving silencers by rule would allow for more flexibility to deal with such changes. Scherer voted no on the bill.
Knox Williams, president of the American Silencer Association, said the equipment will never be able to suppress the sound a bullet makes when it breaks the sound barrier.
Williams said 29 states allow game hunting with a silencer, including Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana.
Mitchell said the bill would affect fewer than 1 percent of hunters, but Williams argued that once silencers are approved, that number will rise. Silencer sales in recent years have been booming, he said, and Ohio is now the fourth-largest silencer market in the country.
Busting the Myth That Hunters “Respect” the Animals they Kill

Defeat the Sportsmen Heritage Act!!
URGENT – CALLS NEEDED TODAY Defeat the Sportsmen Heritage Act
Please act immediately! We need you to make calls RIGHT NOW or before the end of the workday today, Friday, February 21, at the latest. These bills could be taken up and move very fast Monday, February 24, or soon after.
Senate bill 1996 and its seven companion bills are extremely bad for wildlife and the non-hunting public alike. The goal of this package of bills, collectively called SHARE (Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreation Act), is to further “sportsmen’s” interests by opening more federal land to hunting, fishing, and trapping, allowing the importation of polar bear “trophies” from Canada, and allowing hunting in National Parks.
WE MUST KILL THESE BILLS!
The House has already passed the Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act of 2013. Now there is Senate bill 1996, and a package of seven companion bills, all of which would tragically hurt wildlife and take away the rights of the majority of Americans who don’t hunt, trap, or fish.
If enacted, these bills would:
- Mandate a free-for-all of trappers/hunters/fishermen/recreational shooters on 700 million acres of National Forests and Bureau of Land Management land (BLM) – federal public land that belongs to YOU. Trapping is implicit and defined as a subtype of hunting and as such, trapping is green-lighted without being mentioned again. This is analogous to the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 by Don Young (R-AK), which turned National Wildlife Refuges System from sanctuaries into playgrounds for hunters, anglers, and trappers.
- Make hunting, fishing, and trapping a “priority public use” of federal lands. National Forests and BLM land are hunted, trapped, and fished already. Many have public shooting ranges. The bills would go even further by placing one class of visitors above the majority of recreationists on federal public lands who don’t hunt, trap, or fish. The bills would be a menace to public safety and interfere with other visitors’ quiet, peaceful enjoyment of nature.
- Get hunters into National Parks through a backdoor. While hunting is prohibited in National Parks, “skilled volunteers” (read: hunters) would be allowed in the killing (culling) of wildlife populations on federal lands.
- Allow polar bear “trophies” from Canada be imported into the US. That would stimulate hunting of this imperiled species.
- Bar the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating lead in ammunition and fishing sinkers. Lead is a neurotoxin which we’ve eliminated from gasoline, paint, and toys. But 3,000 tons of lead shot and bullets per year are fired into the wild and 4,000 tons per year from fishing tackle is lost in ponds and streams. Many birds of prey ingest spent lead fragments when feeding on animals that were shot and are themselves killed.
What We Need From You:
- We only want to contact the Senators listed at the end of this alert. Please look at the list of Senators below. If none of your Senators are listed, no action is necessary, but please stay tuned. If you do see your Senator(s) listed, please CALL them immediately – before the end of the workday today, Friday, February 21. See our list of Senators to call below.
- To the person in the office of the Senator(s), say this:
“Please ask Senator _________ to call the cloakroom and state that he has concerns about all of the following bills: S.1996 Bipartisan Sportsmen’s Act, S. 170 Recreational Fishing and Hunting Heritage and Opportunities Act, S. 738 Permanent Electronic Duck Stamp Act, S. 847 Polar Bear Conservation and Fairness Act of 2013, S. 1212 Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act, S. 1335 Sportsmen’s Act, S. 1634 Hunter and Farmer Protection Act of 2013, and S. 1660 SPORT Act.”
Have the office person read back the bill numbers to ensure they’re correct. If asked for reasons for the Senators to be concerned see 1-5 above.

Bill promoting hunting, fishing passes U.S. House
By Dave Golowenski For The Columbus Dispatch
Sunday February 9, 2014
A divergent range of sportsmen’s groups commended the passage in the U.S. House of Representatives of the Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act (SHARE) last week.
The package of eight bills represented by SHARE would promote hunting and fishing on land managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and make the purchase of a federal duck stamp easier. Among the act’s authors is Rep. Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green).
Groups including Safari Club International, the National Rifle Association and the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership praised the bill and urged the Senate to follow the House’s bipartisan approval.
Meanwhile, a measure that would raise the price of a federal duck stamp to $25 from the current $15 moved out of a Senate committee last week. Revenues generated by the stamp help fund wetlands conservation.
No bump in price has occurred since 1991, the longest period without an increase since the program was established during the 1930s.

Morrissey Writes Another Scathing Letter About the Royal Family’s Hunting Habits
Morrissey Writes Another Scathing Letter About the Royal Family’s Hunting Habits
“… We can only pray to God that their hunting guns backfire in their faces.”
By Evan Minsker on February 9, 2014
Once again, Morrissey has written a letter about the Royal Family, once again focusing on their hunting habits. Appropriately titled “The story is old, I know, but it goes on”, he criticizes Prince William’s speech about protecting endangered species, as it came one day before he went hunting in Spain with Prince Harry. “We can only pray to God that their hunting guns backfire in their faces,” writes Morrissey. Read the entire thing here:…
One day prior to giving a public plea on behalf of animal welfare (!), Prince William is to be found in Spain (with Prince Harry) shooting and killing as many deer and boar as they possibly can! Although William’s speech (no doubt written by his publicity aides at Clarence House) will concentrate on endangered species, William is too thickwit to realize that animals such as tigers and rhino are only driven to near extinction because people who are precisely like himself and his brother have shot them off the map – all in the name of sport and slaughter. Whenever you shoot an animal in the head the outcome is usually the same: death. Just why William kills innocent and defenseless deer does not matter – the fact is, he does it, and we must go on and on asking why any form of violence is acceptable to the British establishment. It is easy for privileged people to assume jealousy to be the reason why anyone would wish to condemn them, but the British Boil Family never fails to be a colossal embarrassment to the United Kingdom. The Spanish trip is more than likely unwillingly funded by the British taxpayer, and we know very well that the British press is duty-bound to always defend and cleanse the bad behavior of the Boil Family – no matter how abysmal and hypocritical their actions. But the rationalists amongst us – who are never allowed to speak, are intelligent enough to realize that endangered species are dying out only because of people like William and Harry, and, for this we can only pray to God that their hunting guns backfire in their faces.
Exposing the Big Game
