Perry, if you don't like the science, pull it out and debate it.

The laws regarding lead vs. nontoxic revolve around nonmigratory vs. migratory game birds. The latter is regulated by the federal govt. and the former by the state. Hence different regulations. Of course, pheasants can and do ingest lead with sorry effects. But states don't want to outlaw it as this is a relatively rare problem for birds strung out over much more real estate. Not always so for waterfowl.

FWIW, SOME federally purchased public hunting lands require nontox for hunting of even upland game. Because it's federally purchased land.

In the meantime, debate the science, not your politics.
