No lead for waterfowl. If you are hunting migratory and upland on the same day, don't have any lead shot shells on your person when you are in waterfowl habitat. You are at risk of losing gun vehicle hunting privileges etc. should you be checked.
I have not bothered the ducks and geese for quite some time but had Dad's SKB modified to take steel shot so I could if I wanted to.
For the time being, I'll content myself with upland birds.

I didn't know this little gem from that reference.
It has been recommended that the ban on the use of lead shot be extended to all game hunting in order to safeguard the health of people who consume game in significant amounts.
I'm so happy someone is concerned for my health. I am one of those people who consume a lot of game and have done so for decades. With all the lead hoopla, I had my blood tested for lead a few months ago. My levels are "normal" ie same as your average vegetarian. I'm thinking we should ban manure use in the vegetarian's garden plots to protect them from ingesting e-coli which is bound to make it into their carrots. I wonder how many have already died
We should start a movement (pun fully intended)
Cheers,
