When hunting waterfowl, what type of shot should you use?

  1. Lead

  2. Steel

  3. Copper

  4. Plastic

The correct answer is: Steel

When hunting waterfowl, it is important to use steel shot rather than lead, copper, or plastic. This is because lead can be toxic to waterfowl and other wildlife if ingested, while copper and plastic are not as effective or ethical for hunting waterfowl. Steel shot is specially designed to maintain its shape and effectiveness while also minimizing harm to the environment and wildlife. Therefore, it is the best and safest option for hunting waterfowl.
