At the end of the day, it matters not how long the wad lays on the ground, or if an alternative exists. That isn’t the point.
Amen. I farm for a living and the land, and it's health, is super important to me. I go to great lengths to protect it and nurture it. Because, it sustains me and supports me, and I want to be good steward. But, plastic wads and shotgun hulls are the least of my worries. There must be thousands in my fields, mostly below the surface now, from dove shoots, that are in varying states of deterioration. It doesn't bother me in the least.
Plastic hulls deteriorate, when exposed to UV rays, much faster than most think.
