New study on lead fragments from shot in game birds

[Bruce Day]

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.

Honest, I did not forget. Got the results today. NORMAL. I guess that would be the same result for a vegan or a store bought chicken eater. Now of course, that is just me. Don't transfer those results to yourself but to reiterate, I've been eating lead shot critters for at least 50 years, probably more like 55 or 56. So I did remember after all. Another thing I won't be worrying about while dropping roosters this fall. My only worry is that the "new" lifter makes it here before opening day.

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!
