REGIONAL OUTDOOR NEWS

USFS plans to spend $1.9B fighting wildfires this year
Nearly half the U.S. Forest Service's operating budget is earmarked for wildfire fighting costs this year, and a Colorado Forest Service report released this year found that suppressing fires in the wildland-urban interface accounted for 85 percent of firefighting costs in the United States.

Groups face off over safety of lead ammunition
A study done by The Peregrine Fund, an Idaho-based group that works to protect birds of prey, and scientists from Washington State University's College of Veterinary Medicine found that 80 percent of deer killed in Wyoming by high-velocity lead bullets contained some metal dust, and 92 percent of the metal was lead, prompting the group to call for an end to the use of lead ammunition, a stance that prompted outrage from pro-hunting groups.
