Below is what I received. This guy doesn't say anything about being anti lead Bullets and that just … to put it it nicely, is lacking in transparency. I googled his name and this is a major issue of his.
Also, I can't figure out how I "opted" in.
Here is the email:
"Hello,
You are being offered an opportunity to participate in research because you are a hunter with a tag for buck deer in 2023, and you opted in to support research when you purchased your Oregon hunting license.
My name is Leland Brown, and I am a researcher on the project. Our team would like to invite you to participate in a survey that records the outcome of your big game harvest (e.g., a successful hunt). Gathering information on species, cartridge, range, and animal behavior is important to understand best practices for effectively and humanely harvesting wildlife. Currently, there is no consensus on "best practices" and increased knowledge will benefit both hunters and managers.
If you choose to participate in the survey, each entry will document the harvest of an individual animal (deer, elk, black bear, etc.). It is important to record the necessary data in the field during or as soon after the harvest as possible to make sure the data is as accurate. Please follow these steps to record your data:

Filling out the survey should take no longer than 20 minutes and you will be entered to win one of fifty $100 gift cards for your time.
No record of your identity will be requested, and responses will be kept confidential.
Thank you again. Good luck in the field

So there it is.
As far as transparency, his "project" is "Participate in research on bullet performance for harvesting deer, elk or other big game animals". Nothing about his anti-lead agenda. I wouldn't have as much question about this if he shared his major agenda up front.
I liked the part about "No consensus on best practices"?? Good luck, The Holy Grail!
