You have to use non-toxic on all wildfowl, anywhere. But you can shoot other things with lead even if over/near water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marky123 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hiya Make sure you can reload fast.One barrel in the drey,then the other for whatever comes running out sharpish. MARK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 please poke the dreys before shooting, as it may not be a squirrel in residence - little owls for instance use old dreys. you should never shoot a drey without knowing what's at home.
