Besides the fact that I can't stand Landers, who exactly are these "leaders" in the hunting/fishing world?

Isn't the Izaac Walton League a leading hunting organization?

And, the lead in the meat thing has already been disproved for human's consumption.  Hunters were actually shown to have lower concentrations of lead in them than non-hunters.

But, I guess we would have more effectiveness on "hard targets" if we all switched to copper ammo.

Just more Landers propaganda.  Add it to the list.
