paddyluke 857 Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Most pheasants sold for food 'contain lead shot' WWW.BBC.CO.UK Scientists say a pledge by shooting groups to phase out lead shot has had no detectable effect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,974 Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I think we all know a voluntary phase out is pissing into the wind. No one is going to turn up to a high bird day with a slab of steel or god forbid bismuth! I think there's more movement on it in deer stalking world but I can't imagine the environmental impact of that is detectable in any way and the price of non toxic bullets is outrageous.

I don't think that's the main justification for not using lead. I was under the impression it was environmental impact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have found no problems, in fact it's been a great benefit. I holiday often in Chernobyl, love the peace & quiet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,974 Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Also, wtf are the BBC on about it already for! The BASC consortium said they were looking at a five year phase out period which was announced last year. So the f**k did they expect in the first season? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BASC say voluntary ban but it's not BASC who make the rules/laws,BASC have agreed that lead is toxic so how can they defend it?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't get you? No BASC don't write laws, which is why they are saying voluntary.... it wouldn't be voluntary if it was law would it. How can they defend lead shot? They're not, are they? I mean, they literally want us to all move to non toxic because they can't defend the use of toxic anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
