Brent - I admit that I know very little about the lead problem as it pertains to fowl. I did read your post on the results of the number of birds checked and what was found in their gizzards. What the numbers don't answer are the questions posed by salopian. How many ducks/geese have been found that were suffering from the actual effects of lead poisoning? For example, if I have an ounce of whiskey in my stomach, that doesn't mean that I will die from or suffer any permanent effect from alcohol poisoning. I've reloaded shotshells and cast bullets for over 50 years and my Dr. says my lead level is very low. I know that doesn't prove anything, but tends to make me skeptical of the serious dangers of lead. I'm just asking both sides of the arguement to present me with simple facts to convince me one way or the other that lead is or is not killing enough birds (by ingestion) that I should be concerned about it.
