Brent, No shortage here, want a few? They'll bounce back.
In case you missed it I think no tox for waterfowl has a good case going. In fact my whole dissatisfaction with the get the lead out movement has much more to do with unnecessary restrictions that you, yourself just alluded to. Is lead causing a decline in populations other than waterfowl. Or are those populations coping. I think they are.
Then you have the anti shooting/hunting crusaders that have found some leverage in our government. I truly believe that even if the perfect no tox alternative to lead is produced that agenda will remain active.

Chief, the antihunting crusaders will always be with us, just as the anti-lead poisoning crusaders will always be with us, including right here on this forum. What is important is the rational folks in the middle. They are the ones that need to be heard so we can make reasonable decisions. The others should only be ignored yet the extremists seem to be driving the boats lately.
