Steve’s comments are sound. For years many duck hunters would shoot lead and chance not getting caught. If they did their logic was that the cost of good non-toxic for a few years of shooting would be much more than a fine for getting caught with lead shot. It looks like the Fed’s finally figured that out and are now confiscating the tools of the crime.
Maybe one of our attorneys could comment of this. I understand that game law allows a warden to enter one’s premises without a warrant should he (she) have probably cause. That gives our game wardens the broadest powers of any law enforcement personnel. Well, maybe the Patriot act allows some 3-letter agencies more but hopefully we don’t have to worry about those issues…
