I have hunted ducks with steel when we first had to start using it at the Delevan Refuge located in the Sacramento Valley. The amount of crippled ducks far outweigh the amount of any game dieing from lead ingestion. I would say with my experience it is about 3 cripples to every duck killed and with geese the crippled amount doubles. Until a bullet of pellets are made with a material as dense as lead this percentage will remain. As for large game my feelings are we will have alot of game animals dieing and supplying the varmits with extra food as they will go to hide and die after being shot with a metal bullet compared to copper/lead.

Too bad we had to lose Judd Hanna on the Fish and Game Commission as a result of this issue.
