| I'm looking into allowing upland bird hunting on my property next year. But hate the idea of all the plastic shells and wads all over the place. Is there anyone who makes Biodegradable shells? I've seen the federal paper shells, is that my only option? Any help would be great. |
Just tell them if you find more than a couple of hulls left out, you will not allow them to hunt there again next year, but if they keep the place clean, you will allow them to hunt again. Give them motivation to pick them up |

I won't be there to enforce the rules and getting my dad to is of dubious value. But prehaps you are right, I could try and get them to pick them up. It's just that I see a lot of people with autoloaders and would prefer not to have to worry about it. Would also be nice not to have to deal with the wads. So no one knows of a biodegradable shell? PS: The land is located in western MD. I live and work in Los Angeles most of the time, my dad looks after the place. |
I know, but the metal base blends in after a season or so. Plow the field and you really don't notice. But that plastic in bright colors just looks like litter. |
I hunt upland birds once a year for thanksgiving, on the easter shore, and our guide never asked us to pic them up (I do, but I shoot a SXS and don't have to worry about ejection). Like I said, it's just one less thing to worry about. If such a product exists, that is. |
I hear that, But I want something I can buy off the shelf and pass on at cost, as a condition of hunting there. Reloading my own is not an option, legally if nothing else. |
?Porque? eta: Liability issues? eta: Make THEM get the biodegradables. Make it a condition of the use of your land. |
I certainly will when the time comes, but this is my dad's project, so I'm going to let him hammer out the details before I promote it. |
