Lead HAS completely surrounded us, craig, Old colonel agreed that reintroduction of lead for general and unrestricted use on waterfowl isn't going to happen but believed there were holes that could be reasonably exploited. Some suggestions made, some discarded. There seemed a consensus to push back although far behind the eight ball.

My view was to establish credibility first to stop the nibbling in, say a renowned hunting region of quiet assurance far from the two left coasts. Then little adjustments from appreciative and better-informed audiences, starting small. It took 30 years to get pushed to the margins; same time to get back. The money's there with NRA most powerful and financially funded lobby in the country. The issue is ideas, effort, a plan; that's for you to make.
