How can hunters claim to care deeply about the animals they kill? @ian_urbina, an investigative reporter and vegetarian, pondered this question during his weeklong trek across the 33,000-acre Zumwalt Prairie Preserve in Oregon. The purpose of Ian’s trip was to report on the growing environmental opposition to lead ammunition. Scavenger animals — including eagles, foxes and bears — often feed on the remains of animals killed by hunters, and the lead from standard bullets poses serious contamination risks. Some hunters are now ditching lead bullets. Ian shadowed Chelsea Cassens, an elk hunter who was using copper bullets instead of lead for the first time. Up at 4:30 a.m. each day, they criss-crossed nearly 10 miles before returning after dark to base camp. “Admittedly,” Ian said, “it is difficult for non-hunters like me to understand how people who make a hobby of killing animals also say they want to protect them.” As he watched Chelsea stalk her prey — routinely giving up shots that risked injuring or hitting a non-target animal — Ian got a glimpse of what it means to be a conservationist hunter. @maxwhittaker shot this photo of Ian in Oregon.
