[QUOTE="carter, post: 2619668, member: 11634"] in the late 70's lead shot was introduced for ducks 12 ga shells were available i shot a muzzle loader shotgun i could find no steel shot so i finally cut open shotshells to get the shot. i was on quivera wildlife refuge in ks., i had killed a couple of ducks and had the double loaded and enough for 1 more reload. the ranger walked in to check me he wanted to verify that i had steel shot in the gun. i said taht i was not pulling the wads to dump the shot. i liked my hands top much. he insisted and i offered for him to do it. i dug a piece of shot out of a dead duck and it was steel. not good enough. i finally offered to shoot a tree and let him dig for the shot. he said that he had to check and thqat he had never seen a muzzle loader used for ducks. so he picks out a tree and i shoot it. the shot was from about 5 feet. the tree wother hunter and i as a good sappling. it blew in half and no shot was retrieved. i then said no to shooting the other barrel at a larger tee as i was running too low on shot. we had spent a long time and ducks were flying everywhere. i was not happy. a hunter form a couple of hundred yards away walked up to try to get us back in the blind so he could hunt...... he was angry. when he saw taht it was a warden, he said, just shoot a danged duck and he can check that way. i shot and retrieved a duck. the ranger verified that it was steel. the ranger left and that was trhe end of a almost hour check for steel shot. as i walked up to my truck he was waiting. he said that he had forgotten to check for license and duck stamp. he sid that he did not want to mess up my hunting any more so he waited by the trcuk knowing that i would be through soon as i had only 1 more shot before out of ammo. i have been checked for plug in shotgun - dove hunting in about 1970 and had a fishing licence checked in the mid 70's. nothing since......
