Oh me oh my, I never try to ascribe meaning to what the government does when it comes to bird hunting/shotguns. Trying to do so will drive you to drink. Not that all gun/hunting laws are all bad, we need seasons, etc...
I am still perplexed about the steel shot requirments. Were ducks really injesting lead shot and dying of lead poisoning? I know "they" say they were, but were they? Have duck numbers improved since the advent of steel shot requirements? Does anyone know?
Until recently I had not shot at a duck since the steel law came into effect. I am probably not the only one to do so.
