Yes Dave, Kathy and Cam are coming with me. She's really looking forward to it and to going to Hausmann's too.
Regarding lead shot at Addieville - the new no tox rule must be in regard to the stocked birds ingesting shot along with grit for their crops. I guess that could result in high lead levels in these birds' flesh.
However, scientific studies have concluded that lead from lead shot does not adversely affect the environment or ground water as has always been thought. Lead, washed from shot, even from acid rain, is extremely minimal and stays very close to the surface of the ground.
We had all of these tests done on our trap and Skeet fields which have been in use for three decades and more.
