I think we are doing a pretty good job of disagreeing agreeably.
So are you taking the position that any amount of lead shot in the wildfowl water is enough to ban lead shot from the area. Suppose it works out to 100 pellets of #6 per ten acres?
Certainly the wildfowl studies that have been done about wildfowl ingestion of lead were based on the lead coming from wildfowl hunters.
And what about the wildfowl in the corn stubble and eating the winter wheat. Are the upland pheasant hunters going to have to stop using lead there.
And I hunt along rivers, ponds, and creeks that have wildfowl and certainly some of the 6s, 7-1/2s and eight lead pellets I have shot at Bobs and pheasant have gone into those waters.
Because the logical conclusion to what you are advocating leads to banning of lead shot everywhere. And if the feds can ban lead shot when hunting ducks on private waters they can ban lead shot on private land used by interstate ducks.
Best,
Mike
