The Ventana Wildlife Society, along with funding by the Monterey County Fish and Game Advisory Commission and Cabela’s, announced the opening of a free non-lead ammunition drawing for big-game hunters living in San Benito and Monterey counties. The organization will select 200 qualified entries to receive one free box of non-lead ammunition.

The wildlife society said that through the ammunition giveaway program, “we celebrate the long-standing tradition of wildlife conservation in the hunting and ranching community. We support hunting (and some of our staff are hunters) but recognize that the number one problem facing condors in the wild is the ingestion of lead from spent ammunition in the carcasses they scavenge. With this program, we want to help you make a lasting switch to non-lead ammunition and reduce lead exposure for condors, eagles, and other wildlife.”Â
