Traditional ammo ban on federal lands

[Wacenturion]

It makes sense for waterfowl because the pellets are concentrated in the ponds. This would have no positive effects in the woods where there may be no more than a few bullets per sq mile. Ridiculous.

Not neccessary so.  Back in my younger days with WDFW as a biologist in Region 2, I took lots of samples looking for lead shot deposits from areas in Grant, Adams and Franklin counties prior to the eventual change over a few years later to non toxic shot. 

Many or those areas, including the Pothholes Reservoir showed no retention of lead available to waterfowl as it was mostly sandy bottoms and the lead was not there due to sinking lower than say in a hardpan bottom pond where it would remain on the top of the bottom surface.

I Say No to the hell NO! 
We think this ok next will be something else, can't believe people truly think this ok?
It's coming from HSUS For dang sakes the biggest anti hunting group out there!
Nothing like divide and conquer huh?

Bullshat! 

I have a rather large supply of lead hunting ammo.   I will have to consider risking a ticket before just throwing it all out.

damn strait.
Not against the environment either, but If anyone can't see how this will eventually give the anti hunters an edge to ban all hunting you sadly mistaken.
All my shotgun shells are of lead, and all my Rifle ammo is too so hell ya wont be throwing it out anytime soon!
Guess give me a ticket and good luck forcing me to appear! OR to pay!

Kind of funny how those with personal and true experience with these issue always get overlooked. always the agenda rules not what's true!
Can't recall specifics, and or issues, But I have talked to people who have knowledge of certain things such as this, but they got overlooked when decision time came around. SO ya biased opinions and agendas have a lot of weight on how things get done!
