The comment period ended in mid-December. I expect the DNR will brush aside the adverse opinions and move ahead to implement the lead shot restrictions.

If that happens, I with many other hunters will be pushing our governor and state legislators to stop it. But I have some doubt we'll be able to fire up enough political heat. Most uninformed people don't care enough about the facts to learn them, and all too many hunters seem willing to accept the line that lead is poison so let's be good to the environment and stop using it.

Hope I'm wrong.
