I wonder who will import all the Sub Guage Non toxic shot. No one is yet.

There'll be none to shoot by then! Steel is wiping out the mallards isn't it?

However hunters using smaller shotguns such as 20 gauge have been exempt, primarily due to the previous limited availability and high price of non-toxic ammunition for these guns.

so Bryce Johnson whats changed.
you said the insignificant number of 20 gauge users was to small to be bothered regulateing. against[

New Zealand scientific studies showed the problem was the same here as in overseas countries,” Mr Johnson says.

Bryce Johnson says extending the non-toxic shot requirement to most shotguns was inevitable.

Right: 20 Gauge ammunition is coloured yellow to differentiate it from other gauges.

“At the moment, nine out of ten of our hunting licence holders already use non-toxic shot because they own 10 or 12 gauge shotguns.

Advances in ammunition manufacture means good quality non-toxic shot is now available for smaller shotguns, so we are asking the small minority left to follow their example,” Mr Johnson says.

1] bullshit how could it be even phil Robertson said how different our birds and hunting conditions/areas were
2] so how many licence holders is that your costing fun fortune and stress as they try and find ammo no bastards gonna bring in for such a tiny market
your tunes changed pretty quick a year or two go stenning and his ilk were fantasists and over stepping their responcibilities to their licence buyers.
same bullshit different idiots
no supply wrong loads in the wrong shot sizes same as the 12.
mark my words nothing will be learned.
