    No idea but the crime is not in the commission but being caught in the commission.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Exactly, but,
    I'd rather not face consequences for something I thought was legit.
    Hence the question.

    If you are not hunting waterfowl then you can use lead shot. Don't have a duck caller or duck decoys with you.

    cheers stug
    Just noticed getting on dark last night while fishing, the Canada's out there took a flight path not far from where I was, thought I might give them a hurry up and maybe one for the pot if I can.

    I remember reading your not to use lead within 200m of a water way. I used to take lead to smash parries in the middle of the farm, steel for ducks near ponds and rivers

    If i could have a full time job shooting pests i'm up for over time.

    The steel rule is only for hunting waterfowl, Canada geese were removed from the game schedule a few years back so can use lead on them, or even rifles as earlier stated.

    So if they are standing on the bank of a river you can hit them with lead?

    Yeah that rule makes about as much sense as "You cant shoot ducks with 12 gauge lead but its fine to shoot them with 20 gauge lead"....

    not true you can shoot ducks decoying in grass or crop paddocks with 12 gauge lead
    anywhere away from water in fact ie pass shooting them on a flightline in or out of treatment ponds as long as your 200 metres away.
    as long as its not duck season or you arent targetting ducks ie no caller or dekes you should be okay but during the season who can be bothered with the risk or having to arse about with different steel/ lead loads or changing chokes on the off chance a goose might come your way...
    especially given steel richochets like a bastard in river beds if ground shooting is your bent.
