As a life-long hunter, I have no problem with research being made into the best material used for hunting without impacting the environment. I love helping the environment.

Bring on the research. Just don't try to forbid my hunting, or my guns, or ammo.

One area of oversight in the lead v steel shot that should be fixed are the multi-species areas.

Lead shot is legal for pheasant & upland, but field hunt geese & ducks in the same fields and lead shot is illegal. Lead is legal for nutria, swamp rabbits, and hogs. Hunt waterfowl in the same wetlands...you gotta shoot steel.

I think the reason is because hunting waterfowl, there is a lot more shooting in areas of waterfowl use when hunting waterfowl where a build up of shot is more likely when you are stationary shooting than walking and shooting distances apart.

Ha, The one good thing I track...
 

is that I survived all those lead shot ducks!!!

Me too. And the geese too. And the pheasants, quail, rabbits, squirrel and doves that are still shot by lead.

Probably because most of us are smart enough to try to remove any shot in the carcass when we clean the game and if we miss any and find it when we are eating we spit it out and don't swallow it.

You will have a long wait, the OP didn't ask a question, he made a statement.

Why trade banter with a troll? Look at the join date, the number of posts and the link added to the post. Just another troll trying to peddle B.S.

I didn't notice the link.

Says she's woman from AQ, wherever that is, that is probably just making that silly post to put up that link to advertise her callus remover, LOL!!! :sad:
