The Oregon Fish and Wildlife has planned to ask residents about their thought on using lead ammunition for hunting. The survey will be mailed this June to random hunters from the state. The department also plans to ask non-hunters about the issue.
Ron Anglin, wildlife division administrator, said that lead ammunition is a national issue due to its effects on human and wildlife health. Other states have plans to change their rules with regards to the use of lead ammunition. California plans to make lead ammunition illegal for hunting starting in 2019.
