The lead ban was pushed through, because duck numbers and duck hunters were at an all-time low.
Remember the wetlands were drying-up!
Waterfowling was a dying sport - just a few ol'boys caught in a time warp.
Not anymore!
Today, duck hunters and deer hunters are the bread and butter of hunting's future.
...and btw Ted, the US Fish and Wildlife Service ranks Missouri #5 in resident hunters, and not because of the birds you mention - it must be those ducks, deer and turkeys eh!
