Fine Mike, then they will just stop shooting. It's as simple as that.
It's getting to damned expensive for a family man anyway.

You'd have a heart attack in Gizzy mate. Fuck steel

Sorry to KWB, its the other one, Tube

I haven't seen anyone from Southland have a go at us yet , just the usual suspects from other regions

And no I don't know that there is ample evidence to the contrary so would be delighted if you could share it please

Why will they stop? The performance in their minds of steel or the price of it?

Thats because Southland still has the duck numbers, give it a few seasons

Thats why we're taking measures now Pointer, we've seen the results in other areas of waiting too long. While it may not be popular its for the ducks that we're doing this. Like most regions we've been declining for 20 years (before steel shot).

Can you honestly say that? That you are taking these measures for the game animals? for the sport? You mention decline before steel, so doesn't that tell you something?

Give it time, you will see what you are doing is short sighted.

If by the other side you mean FNH theres no documentation there. Put up a link please if you can.

Yes it does Pointer. Because of that Southland put up a proposal for a national research program around mallards. We proposed to put up $100k each year for three years if matched by some other councils. Guess what, none did. We decided we needed to do it anyway and as we speak a national program(albeit short of funds) is underway. Lead is a problem and we all know that thats why we aren't going against the research we've proposed by making this change. Hopefully the research will find out some of the other issues. We're prepared to accept whatever the findings of it are.

I cant believe your all arguing with another brain washed f&g muppet
