"Hard to find a place to park your boat trailer at the landings, and parking spots in the marsh must be secured before a quarter past midnight or you won't get one at all."
Holy mackerel, say it's not so, an exaggeration! I wouldn't bother with hunting on those terms, for the same reason I wouldn't bother with rotation on salmon pools.

How about the traditional southern dove fields, where the boys make 10 shots for every downed bird with that tasty #7 shot.
The flyways are fairly void of hunters these days. Its kinda like putting pepper on your meatloaf from the space station.
Brent you have to excuse Lowell he don't get out much... Lowell I say show "proof" that the lead shot at a dove field makes it back into the food chain.

Don't have to h0mie, but you can be sure that notox will find it's way to doves. Better sell-off that Brummie 10b hammergun with the 32" damascus barrels to a cowboy - won't be much good for anything else!

Lowell I bet you'd like to have about a foot of those 32 " barrels to weld on the tubes of your Cowboy'd Beesly. That old Ten will reach places your 12 can only dream of and it works great with Bismuth...just ordered me some more.

Tut-tut h0mie, but I would love to have a really old thing like that ten of yours to put over my fireplace mantel.

"Lowell doesn't get out much." Well enough to know h0mie, while deer and turkey tags sell like hotcakes, and throngs of hunters take to the woods, small game and duck stamps pretty much go un-sold. Sign of the times?

Trying to get this thread back on line.
If lead is increasingly under fire as being unsuitable for wildfowling what pray do the Scientists recommendas a suitable alternative? Tom Roster and CONSEP seem to indicate that the REAL problem MAY be inefficient marksmanship. That apart what is the feeling about alternative shot? Kent don't seem to be marketing Tungsten very well. Bismuth? Heavyshot isn't all it was cracked up to be and is horrendously overpriced here in the UK. Zinc? Tin? Soft Iron? ( Steel)causes environmental issues. What do we need to use that is economical, efficient, readily available? Lead?
