I see some room for debate on lead shot in hard hunted areas with hard bottoms. The other places I think it is a matter of convenience to make everyone lead free for easy enforcement. In California, the total ban is clearly an anti hunting/ anti gun move. I studied the detail of how the law was passed. The scientific side was fabricated deeply flawed. T study done by a environmentalist shill at UC Santa Cruz. . The data was destroyed before it could be properly evaluated.
Exactly, same here.
The photos of "lead-poisoned" ducks that were used as proof, were lost cripples they'd picked up/retrieved at a private club in Ontario (sneeked in after the season). The Xrays were taken at all different angles to show shot in the gizzards. No 2 ducks were Xrayed at the same angle. Of course, many of these birds also had the odd lead pellet in the guts, legs, breasts or wings - but you are supposed to ignore that- the government did.
I know a number of guys who carry some steel shot - to show the game warden's magnet, but stopped using them for actually hunting, as nothing wounds as badly as steel & tungsten & bismuth is too expensive.
