"What happens if a snow goose dies from picking up some #6 shot fired at a chukar? Are snow geese endangered? Could that same goose have been killed by being shot by the the same chukar hunter during goose season using Bismuth? What would be the difference in the world?"

Are Snow Geese the only waterfowl that picks up spent shot ?

"WMA is an acronym "Wildlife Management Area"."

Where I hunt WMA stands for Waterfowl Management Area , areas that are managed for other wildlife are known as F&WA's (fish and wildlife areas). Thats why I asked what it stood for , it can mean different things in different states .

I don't care for steel shot any more than most of you do . But I do understand the need for it in certain areas .
