One of the subjects discussed was the prohibition against using lead ammunition in some parts of the state, because the condors tend to consume it from unrecovered game.

Our excellent instructor gave his own personal advice unequivocally. “Just avoid the lead ammo”, he said. “Just don’t buy it. Then you don’t have to worry if you’re in condor country or not.” The way he said it clearly suggested his sympathies were with the condors.

Even the most die-hard hunters can be, and perhaps are, conservationists at heart.
