Lead Shot Ban for Road Hunting

how do you contact the commission ?

I totally agree with you about using lead shot for road hunting.  The only thing steel shot does is CRIPPLE  birds!!!  Anyone who has hunted knows for a fact that steel does not have near the knock down power as lead..  Using steel for road hunting is just going to cripple the bird farther out onto private land, thus making the land owner more upset because you are further out on his land and so on and so on.  Private shooting preserves should be the ones that have to shoot steel if the game fish and parks are worried about lead poisioning.  Those fields get hammered on day after day.  Plus I think there are quite a few released birds that just plain get up in closer range so steel isn't that big of a handicap.

And yes I agree that steel is not nearly as good as lead, especially at longer ranges. 

This is a very interesting topic of discussion.  If this grabs hold in South Dakota of all places it will be hard for the rest of the Midwest not to follow in suit.  We are over-extending fear I'm afraid.  Hopefully, the right thing is done.
