No More Lead

[Sir-diealot]

"The New York State Assembly today passed legislation that bans lead ammo from being used on state lands and all lands in the New York City watershed. Talk about a big blow to frontstuffers! This is most of the Adirondack and Catskill parks! It hurts just talking about it!"

No mention on starting date here, I shared what I saw.

Lol. Been that way down here for years. Environmentalist have been crying about lead containmenating the water. But turn their heads not to see all the plants dumping crap into the Mississippi River. Just more politics.

When I was a kid we ran around the woods with our pellet guns carrying pellets in our cheek for quick deployment

Lead poisoning must take alot to get or more than 30 yrs to set in

Not sure what will happen if they force it on all land, am I just supposed to throw out all my lead shot? I don't much think so! Environmentalist are whack jobs for the most part from what I have seen.

Been that way in Ga for awhile. I don't shoot that many high dollar shells but use lead in general patterns and follow up with my turkey shells in the end. POI is the same and saves some money

What's crazy is the higher that be's come up with this crap. I personally think they sit up in DC and come up with crap because they are board and pretending to the populace that they serve a purpose. More of the "Do as I say , not as I do " mentality.

Of course you must. They really need to be removed from office.

I don't think they should have the right to do it myself. I think I have 2 boxes of Heavi-Shot but everything else other than some steel duck shot is lead.

Could not agree more. I am a firm believer in term limits, that is why so many of the so called Republicans turned on Trump in the end, he made the mistake of saying he wanted term limits before he was reelected.

See there, even those Yankees in NY know that TSS is a superior load and they don't want that crappy lead making it's way onto public property 

Just kidding!  But seriously, it is one of those dumb laws for some liberal to jump on their soap box and say "Look at me, I CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT!!!"

Guess all the tss haters are going to have to quit turkey hunting and thus reduce the pressure so there's room for the tss loving nonresidents.

I heard they are going to ban mouth calls Next....

Non-toxic shot began in waterfowl due to high concentrations of hunting in some areas creating a situation where birds were eating lead and dying of lead poisoning in large numbers...

Honestly, there was good reason to stop the use of lead "in some areas."

But lead does not leach into soil or water, and has to be ingested...

Anti-hunters have successfully created marketing advocating against the use of lead as a poison to create new restrictions which have made it far more difficult and expensive to hunters...  Claims that animals (such as condors) will eat lead contaminated gut piles of deer and die from lead poisoning...

Been completely non-tox in California for a while...  Not allowed to purchase ammo online, and need a background check to purchase ammo here.

I have gotten used to hunting waterfowl with steel, but despise doing so for dove, quail, pheasants, etc...  Premium shot is vastly too expensive to use on high volume shooting such as dove or quail...   Copper bullets are quite expensive (especially for small game and high volume).

Premium shot for turkeys is a no-brainer though...  Even at $10 per shot, it is well worth it to shoot something vastly more effective than steel, and even lead for 2-4 shells fired per season.

I have also found it more difficult to get my kids into the hunting game with non-toxic.  More difficult to hit and kill dove/quail, with ammunition that does not work as well, is more expensive, and recoils considerably more than cheap lead target loads.

I haven't found any regs on lead for turkey in Ga. Says #2 or smaller 10ga or smaller thats it.
