Victory At AZGFD Headquarters!

Common sense prevailed over raw emotion at the Arizona Game and Fish Headquarters last Friday as the board members elected to continue with the current voluntary compliance policy regarding lead ammunition and the California Condor.

NRA supporters, Second Amendment activists and outdoorsmen of all stripes showed up in force for the all-day public discussion forum that addressed a range of issues from the hotly debated lead ammo ban to poaching concerns to procedures to replace Duane Shroufe as director of the AZGFD.

Also present were approximately twenty or so Condor supporters of various stripes; some of scientific prominence in the raptor and birds of prey fields of study.

I spoke and presented my abridged findings (which were cut short by the premature failure of my bullet trap), but I hardly swayed the decision; AZGFD knows its duty to its constituency and needs to be congratulated in keeping their priorities in focus.
