Lead shot ban contested in Illinois waterfowl zones
The National Wildlife Federation threatens a lawsuit to designate a four county quota zone as non-toxic steel shot now, citing lead poisoning of waterfowl and eagles. Illinois law blocks such zones without changes, while the federation seeks broader steel shot adoption across 13 counties and potential ban. Denni Thornburg notes timelines and public meetings as talks loom.
