Lead Shot While Goose Hunting
The early goose season overlaps with dove season. A buddy and I were going to go dove hunting a couple of times after work and were wondering about the goose aspect. Would it be legal to possess both steel and lead shot so that you could dove hunt but also take a goose if the opportunity presented itself? I’m not sure what the legality is for possessing certain shotshells. We’d be hunting dove and just have a couple of steel shells on hand in case a goose flew by within 25 yards or so. Thanks. Oh yeah – we’re aware that we’d have to add a federal duck stamp to our list of tags as well as the migratory stamp that we already have for doves.
