Mike,
Your point? Not sure where global mean temperatures fit in but if it makes you any happier, all my degrees are in Science. As is my profession.

How long will you wait?

Jack,
You read an abstract. A one paragraph summary of the entire 5-15 page paper. If you want to know what the details are, read it and find out.

And yes, the gizzard is a milling operation.

Get a life. This is not the proper place or time to get on a environment soapbox. A true expert can tolerate people who do not agree with their position and do not feel threatened by it or need to attack them for their non belief. You posts are getting off the subject of guns and into much more subjective things.

Some "currency," isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
The fact is, some scientific currency is science fiction.

I Googled up LEO and discovered that a high quality abstract "provides logical connections (or transitions) between the information included". All I saw in Brent's was total nos. of birds opened up per species and the prevalence of non-tox in the pre-digester. If I were an academic, I'd probably think what Brent presented was a summary of data but I'm not so I won't.

KY I've got a fine life thank you. Your's seems to be a bit thin in some areas but perhaps it suits you. Now what's not germaine about lead shot poisoning? And what's subjective about the data? Let's see the specifics.

Ecological journals and Al Gore's greenie science!
Lead shot barely jarred the Richter Scale when it came to pollution. Lobbied, bought and sold quack science found the duck hunter easy prey to put under it's well greased thumb. With all that man has done to his world - it was the lead in the old boy's gun that was made to be the monster.
Welcome to the Pan-American world of science - trust me!

Lowell you ever read Capooths book "The Golden Age of Waterfowling"....they started trying to get lead shot outlawed for duck hunting in the early 1900's.
Isn't that before weird Science and Green piece ?

Best I can figure...It was because of the concentrations of lead that were occuring at the duck hunting honey holes.

Isn't lead one of the most common metals on the planet ?

I'm having problems seeing how an upland hunter is going to ever throw enough lead in one spot to make any difference ?

Gun Clubs clean up their ranges...so where's the beef with lead shot ?

Where you been h0miej0e?
My biff has been in almost everyone of my replies.
The duck hunter was the scientific greenies whippin'boy.
How about the traditional southern dove fields, where the boys make 10 shots for every downed bird with that tasty #7 shot.
The flyways are fairly void of hunters these days.
Its kinda like putting pepper on your meatloaf from the space station.

Lowell,
That you making noises again?

The "flyways failr void of hunters"? where ya been? Sitting in front of your TV I guess. Hard to find a place to park your boat trailer at the landings, and parking spots in the marsh must be secured before a quarter past midnight or you won't get one at all.

I guess you are living in your own imaginary world with your own imaginary problems. A sad life indeed.
