<<I think getting rid of the lead shot was a good thing. That stuff is nasty.>>

It's ok for upland hunting and skeet and trap but it was a killer for waterfowl. I had a few meals with Dr. Frank Bellrose, they guy who figured out spent shot was killing ducks. He bought an x-ray machine, scoured the Illinois River bottoms looking for dead ducks. He x-rayed them in his basement looking for lead in the gizzards. The rays went through the ducks, bounced off the concrete walls and put him in critical condition for 3 months. He had a biology degree, not an x-ray degree. BTW, he's also the guy who developed the Wood Duck nests and took the Woodies from endangered to a two a day bird.
