My wife and both received a coupon from the DWR for 50.00 ea. towards non lead ammo for our deer hunt in the Zion. I have checked with DoubleTap ammo out of Cedar City. "SOLD OUT" HAHAHA. Now i'm on a waiting list for ammo. Ironic part is....
"Obtain a coupon for free non-lead ammunition (up to $50 value)."
After doing some research the price was 56ish not so free. I guess the wait for 2 boxes of ammo for 13 or so bucks isn't so bad. This is a project that is related to the condors is southern Utah. 2 options (1)check in and prove the non lead ammo was used. (2) use regular ammo and remove entire animal including guts if I am reading correctly and still check in. Here is the link if anyone is interested...

Hunters helping condors

Did Mike give you any time frame of getting them? They have great ammo for great prices, meaning great big prices. But Mike is a great guy.

What happens if you get a complete pass through behind the shoulder?

No big deal. They are worried about lead Bullets left in gut piles that the birds eat.

I have not heard back from Mike on the timeline. Just on waiting list.

In my book that means Great shot. I guess show empty bullet case at check point? I don't know what this would prove only an empty case...

Id go through Barnes directly and get ya some tsx factory rounds

I doubt that they check that much, and I don't believe that it is a actual regulation yet to use lead free bullets in certain units.

Now if you were in Comifornia then you could be in trouble if you have a lead rifle round while hunting.

As for the cost, they started giving out that certificate 10 or more years ago and it hasn't kept up with inflation. Sad thing is that for a reloader it is only good for loaded ammo.

would be nice but according to web site these are the providers:

Id call Barnes and ask. Its local why wouldn't the state support a local lead free bullet company?? Oh wait.... its utah.

 

[AF CYN]

I think they still may want the guts removed with a pass-through because lead fragments could be left behind. I'm a big fan of Barnes TTSX. Good luck finding something.

Because when the program went into effect Barnes was not selling to the public, so they were left out of the valid retail shops. Even now I don't believe that they have a online shop even if they may be selling retail out of their business in Mona.

My local sportsmen's usually has more monolithic ammo on the shelves than lead ammo.

It seems they sell a lot of federal ammo loaded with Barnes.

Not only local but just minutes from my house.

Actually it is for reloading also. this is from the bottom of the coupon.

sorry wrong pic.

 

[DIRTYS6X6]

try this one...

 

[Critter]

The last time that I hunted the area that was covered by it it only pertained to loaded ammo.

But then that was back in 2011.

 

[colorcountrygunner]

It isn't required yet as far as I know. I have ran into a few of them big ugly buggers (the condors) over the years on the Zion. They are cool to see.

They built a Condor Hotel just over the hill from my cabin. So we see them quite a bit. They will even walk just the other side of the fence after they have found a couple of dead sheep that they gourged on and can't fly yet........
