We Love Outdoors June 21, 2022 - Episode 23 We Love Outdoors with Rich Davenport

    • Wilderness

In this week's episode of We Love Outdoors with Rich Davenport, your humble host delves into more of the anti-gun measures passed by NY in the waning moments of the legislative session, including the body armor sale ban in NY which completely missed the type of armor the Tops shooter was wearing.  Haste makes waste, and this shows you what it means in not letting a crisis go to waste.

The lead ammo ban proposal from USFWS on their National Wildlife Refuges was also discussed, and you can submit you comment to the Federal Register before August 8, 2022.  USFWS has no science that indicates lead ammo or fishing tackle is causing problems, so push back.

Your humble host also lays out the truth about lead and toxicity, and folks, solid lead bullets or sinkers are not toxic, as they cannot be metabolized!  But this is how the trickery works, take a general truth - lead is toxic - then claim there is an issue, while omitting the realities of what form of lead is actually toxic, and if you cannot metabolize it, then toxicity doesn't exist!  Kinda similar to the CO2 claims where yes, CO2 does absorb infrared photons, but only holds the heat for 0.00001 second longer than other gases, while CO2 is consumed by plats to make cellulose!  Levels in the atmosphere are a fraction of what you find in a greenhouse, and yet no issues in greenhouses with heat or anything else.

In fishing news the DEC has released some survey updates for Lake Erie fishing in May 2022, which showed a tremendous uptick in angling effort not seen on at least 20 years!  This was driven by walleye and yellow perch fishing, while May's bass fishing effort was about average for the month.  Lake Ontario stocking has been completed, and stream surveys will now be done with Lake survey work, starting this September.

NY also appears to have a new smallmouth bass record with an 8lb 5.8oz beast being caught, weighed and released during a bass tournament on Cayuga Lake.  The record is pending certification from DEC.

Finally, the wind zealots are getting desperate and a new liar has jumped up trying to get politicians to sign a letter that is full of falsehoods, which your humble host dismantles piece by piece.  To get the facts, visit CAWTILE.com or come of the July 12 informational meeting at Southtowns Walleye Assn. clubhouse on Southwestern Blvd. in Hamburg, NY.  State Senator George Borrello will be the keynote speaker.
