What do you guys think about the countless tons of lead shot that duck hunters have put into our water supply over the years?

Obviously it sucks. But haven't most places made laws that require steel shot now? I thinks that's been years ago. I remember when I was a little kid my Dad bitching about how much it cost.

That aside, the stuff came out of the ground... [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Honestly though I don't know that much about the issue. Have they tested the water supplies and found this to have been a major cause of increased lead? Or did some hippy just say, "Oh my God! Lead! Those sonsabitches!" [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I remember as a kid hearing birds were dying of lead poisoning after being wounded...then they were saying some were eating the shot accidentally and being poisoned. I don't remember ever hearing about it impacting human water supply.

I'd love to hear more about the issue though. Have a good article?
