I don't think you're off the mark, Ted. I don't know how many shells other hunters use for a morning's gunning but whatever the cost non-tox is not going to stop me because wildfowling is one of my religions. It's making choices. If you want to run the roads, keep up with the Joneses, golf, curl, drink and smoke, eat-out, be a clothes horse, fine. This strayed Baptist boy can't afford those things and indulge in guilt-free gunning. I'm not planning to live forever.
