Re the California ban, I believe it passed--although perhaps not in force yet.

It's the law, governor signed it a couple of years ago. Ban is being phased in and is already in place in a lot of prime hunting areas. The phase-in was an enforcement option in the bill as signed, and the Sacto Bozos are taking advantage of that language to screw us early and often. Confusion is somewhat rampant because of piecemeal implementation. There are a lot of ag fields along Hwy 111 in the Imperial Valley, near the Salton Sea. Prime habitat for doves and pheasants. Some of the fields are OK for lead, some are non-tox only, depending upon who owns them. No postings, you are just supposed to know. One wrong step on a dirt road and you are a criminal. I hate this state government.
