Agree on the college issue, but there are exceptions.
For example- College of the Ozarks in MO is a small Christian school with a growing wildlife degree program. It is led by a former furbearer biologist, with a couple dozen scientific papers, who is a lifetime member of NTA and his state association, and is even active on this forum…He is decent trapper too… We have 50 students in the program and it is my hope that these students will be the ones that keep up the fight for sound wildlife stewardship. I pray they learn from my successes, as well as my failures, and make more of an impact than I ever did. Glad to hear, but seems to be the exception instead of the rule, imo.

The proposal bans ALL lead (lead shot, lead sinkers, lead bullets, lead line (gill nets).

Steel shot is less dense than lead shot therefore carries less energy and is less effective at killing
I currently shoot lead 7.5 shot at doves. The equivalent steel shot size would be #5.5 or lets just round up and say steel #6. I now have less pellets downrange and less pattern density also due to the larger pellet
I'm also going to have to make it go a heck of a lot faster to match the energy of lead, so the overall felt recoil will be increased substantially
Steel pretty much just sucks all around
Until you put a little TSS under it.....
I have shot a lot of cases of both lead and steel shot. Yes steel is lighter than lead. But you can get steel shot at speeds they never have lead. I have shot cases of steel 7 shot and never saw a problem with its killing power. I am talking about what I have seen, not what I read. Hippie they make all copper and different types of non lead bullets.

Lead is a big concern, but plastic bags and bottles laying around everywhere aren't a problem. Full retard. You shoot plastic bags and bottles out of your shotgun? Weird choice but it’s yours to make. I guess they don’t see enough people with your predilections to make an issue out of it. Seems there are a lot of people shooting lead at various animals. Maybe that is why they are moving for this, control the thing they have control over.

Hippie they make all copper and different types of non lead bullets. I can tell you for fact that 2 3/4” high brass #6 lead will drop ducks stone cold dead over any steel shot produced whether you’re shooting passing ducks or decoying ducks and with a lot less kick. If lead was such a big issue we shouldn’t have any birds of prey left in the South.
