Bob, I've always believed that steel shot and some of the non toxics have crippled more birds that eventually die than were harmed with lead shot. I know that supposedly this was done to protect eagles and vultures, scavengers if you will. Personally I believe that the predators are out of control but I digress. The problem is that using lead shot even a mediocre shot could harvest a bird. When they were forced to use a ballistically inferior product coupled with their poor shooting, cripples went up.
