EPA bans lead shot for depredation permits

Just a thought. We constantly hear about prices being set by supply and demand. Wouldn't this increase the demand for non-toxic shot and bring the price down?

Only if the supply were sufficient methinks.

Boys and girls, I must admit that I have a bad habit of not only shooting old guns, but reading old books. Duck Shooting edited by Eugene Connett in 1947 had an article The Future of American Wildfowl by Fredrick Lincoln. He wrote in length about lead poisoning of wildfowl. I don't think we can blame this inconvenience on the anti's though I am convinced they applaud it.
