When shooting training birds..

Post by gundogguy » Thu Aug 28, 2014 3:24 am

What states require steel or some other form of Non-toxic shot to use? and what states require the same when hunting upland game?

Well in MN, you can use lead on private land. On public land it depends... Areas designated at waterfowl areas generally make non-toxic shot a requirement...

Thats something you just need to research in every state you go to.....

Federal WPA land is no tox only.....

I use lead for upland game on the same grounds where I have to use non-tox for waterfowl. Makes no sense but hey, we have to obey laws.
