Copper vs. Lead Bullets: Johanna and Jeff Birchem

Johanna Birchem

KAXE-KBXE volunteer David Harrington spoke with retired conservation officer Jeff Birchem and his 13 year old daughter Johanna during the Beltrami Island Christmas Bird Count in December.  They discussed the importance of using copper bullets rather than lead bullets while hunting. Johanna hunts with copper bullets and nabbed two bucks this fall using them.  Take a listen to the segment to learn more about why copper is the healthier choice while hunting.   Thanks to Johanna and Jeff for taking the time to chat!
