The reasoning for banning lead shot for waterfowl was that it was thought that the fowl ingested the spent pellets as grit, making them weak and vulnerable to the eagles. The eagles then ingested the pellets through eating the fowl, became sick and died. The main reason for the explosion in the eagle comeback was the banning of DDT. Period! I don't think that the larger buckshot and slugs will be available to fowl to ingest so you should be OK Craig. As far as I know Craig, rifles are legal in Dorchester and Worchester counties in the marshes where you hunt. Good luck.
