Waterfowl Population Reports

Three new nontoxic
shot types approved for waterfowl hunting. On Monday August 9, 2004,
the Fish and Wildlife Service approved tungsten-bronze, a new formulation
of tungsten-iron, and tungsten-tin-bismuth for use in waterfowl hunting.
With these three new nontoxic shot types, there are now 10 nontoxic shot
types available to waterfowl hunters. A listing of the approved shot types
is available at http://migratorybirds.fws.gov/issues/nontoxic_shot/nontoxic.htm.
You can view the Final Rule approving three new shot types as nontoxic
