Mike McTeeMike McTee shot his first weapon before he could recite the
alphabet. Now, understanding weapons is part of his job.

Mike's career took this trajectory after he gained a B.S. in
Environmental Chemistry. Curious about potentialpollution at a historic
shooting range in Montana's Bitterroot Valley, he earned an M.S. in Geosciences
studying the site. Strangely, the sulfur inside the trap and skeet targets
posed the main threat, not the lead in the shotgun pellets. But lead
contamination soon grabbed Mike's focus. Each winter at MPG Ranch, where Mike
worked, biologists caught eagles suffering from alarming levels of lead exposure.
Mike soon initiated studies on scavenger ecology and began investigating the
wound ballistics of rifle bullets, the suspected source of lead. His research
has appeared in numerous wildlife and environmental journals.

Mike often connects with the public through his
writings and speaking engagements, whether it be to a local group of hunters or
a gymnasium full of middle schoolers. He frequently writes about the outdoors,
with credits to The FlyFish Journal, Backcountry Journal, Strung, and Bugle. He
lives with his family in Missoula, MT.
