MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • December 13, 2020
Bob Humphrey’s Dec. 6 column, “Hunting: Eliminating all lead ammo a generational issue, so get ready next gen,” correctly notes Maine hunters understand what ammunition works best for them. Hunters have for centuries sought to balance hunting traditions and wildlife conservation that ensures healthy game populations for the next generation. Sounding alarms on traditional ammunition is counterproductive to wildlife conservation when the millions of tax dollars paid by firearm and ammunition manufacturers dry up. ~ Lawrence G.
