Whats the rule? I have a 16guage shotgun I want to hunt upland bird and waterfowl with but its tough to find 16guage steel/non toxic loads within an hour and a half. Im wondering if I need non-toxic on ANY public lands, or just certain ones? I know Waterfowl Development lands with you, but what about WMA's? Like Waurika, Tom Steed (Inside the green signs) and Hackberry Flats (Again, inside the green signs."

I know there are red signs that say no hunting past noon or 1pm or so, and only non toxic ammo.

Is that restriction JUST for that area, or is non-toxic loads a statewide public land regulation for upland bird and waterfowl?
