The oft quoted wildfowl issue is overstated and you do not see the countryside littered with dying wildfowl🙄 This is, to quote Chris Packham 'Fake news'. Buy your game from your local shoot rather than Waitrose ( only the Islington crowd can worry about this for their dinner parties😝) IIRC Denmark overturned their lead ban on shooting of wildfowl due to welfare issues about steel not killing as cleanly as lead. Sadly DK banned all lead years ago and all plastic wads will be banned from 2022 also and doesnt look like will ever change Edited July 30, 2019 by dodeer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokersmith Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 They won't be any shot in the meat they sell … lead or steel. Modern metal detectors prevent this type of contamination. We take our numerous pieces of shot from our chips every year, and have never had a piece back from a consumer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
