[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 79688, member: 1485"] Mark my words: With this report, the anti hunters are going to hit lead HARD in the near future. Next it'll be upland game, then big game, and then you won't even be able to use lead shot at the trap range because some poor sparrows will invent shot in their gizzards: [URL]http://www.fws.gov/ecological-services/highlights/01042016.html[/URL] Remember the debacle in ND a few years ago when lead was suddenly "found" in some venison that was donated to homeless shelters?? And there was a "report" that came out in MN about bald eagles that were falling out of the sky because of all the lead they ate. Funny that of all use sportsmen who are out and about so often, you seldom hear about finding dead hawks, owls or buzzards. I know I haven't. I use steel for waterfowl (obviously) and have used it for pheasants, but I refuse to believe that eagles and raptors are dropping dead all over the place because of lead fragments in the gut pile I leave every deer season. What about the wind turbines that are apparently knocking the out of the sky faster than Tim Knapp with a triple-barrel Benelli?? Crickets, because it's "Green." BS. What bugs me is I can't read the full report unless I spend money to access it. This brief description on the page doesn't tell me anything of interest (rate of lead deaths compared to other deaths, for example). [/QUOTE]
