New study on lead fragments from shot in game birds

[Richard Flanders]

Didn't know you flew C-130's Bruce. I have lots of good Herc stories and videos from Antarctica and got to fly one for 30 minutes over the south polar plateau once. The only time I ever saw the Navy pilots frightened was when they had to shut all the engines down at my camp due to a mechanical. 660miles out of McMurdo in a remote camp with absolutely no way to preheat and not APU if it sat too long. Those guys were all over the questionable engine. Red Flag is on here now so there are Hercs going in and out of the bases.

We have the world's greatest supply of lead, much of it in Missouri. However, mining and environmental restrictions make it cheaper to buy lead from overseas than to produce our own.

They had a show on cable the other night talking about that old lead mine. Upon shutting down the mine & stopping the large dewatering pumps, the old mine filled with water & created the world's largest underground lake ! Popular with divers...

U. S. Grant was born in Point Pleasant Ohio but grew up in Galena IL. I guess after that he figured that whiskey, seegars and the most devistating war this Country was ever involved in wouldn't be much of a problem.

Dean has nicked the problem. The anti hunters wish to scare the nanny goverments into baning lead shot. They are trying to save our lives? Hell no! They only wish to control our lives. Every ban gives goverment more control. Their Motto: Everything is forbidden unless expressly permitted! David Keeping fingers crossed for Jack's lifter arriving on time!
