Default EPA bans lead shot for depredation permits

I wonder how long before the use of all lead shot is prohibited and what impact will it have on the prices of classic doubles.

Unfortunately Pete I think it's only a matter of time.

I am afraid that this is the "foot in the door".

A total ban is not far off I fear. A few yrs back they banned it for all hunting for the entire north slope of Alaska, which is at least 25% of the state. Why? Because they knew that no one would notice... and no one did. And I'm sure the natives who are the only hunters of birds up there ignore the ban and could care less. After that they banned it for the entire kuskokwim/Yukon delta region... another 15-20% of the state. No advance notice, no comment period as is usual, nothing. Again, no one even knew they did it. It just showed up in the game regs the NEXT year. The depredation ban is the same thing. They know that sportsman will not stage riots in the streets, that they can get away with it. Eventually, a lead ban will be in effect for the vast majority of lands.. somehow, for some reason, and it won't be long after that when it's banned totally. We will not win this one.

Where's the scientific data?? Where is the public input?? Where is the introduction of a bill that would mandate open public forums before anti-lead laws are passed?

Where is the outrage??

I would be expressing our concerns to the organizations with the money " our money" like the NRA, SCI, and rest that we belong to.
