I know as fact each cripple was shot with steel. My buddies use steel exclusively; I TM. I wasn't with them with my dog earlier on those days. They are conscientious, good shooters, never take a limit, no more than a couple for the plate, home no later than 8:30a.

The law here says all reasonable efforts must be made to retrieve what has been shot. The wind was "flat-cam"---as they say on our Eastern Shore---so they went home for a small aluminum skiff to retrieve their ducks. As I said earlier here, if I were king there'd be no waterfowling without a retriever.
