The NRC's agenda for this Thursday's meeting includes a petition from a group called Lead Is Poison Coalition that is seeking to stop the HUSH program from accepting deer shot with lead slugs. Non-toxic and archery kills will still be accepted. I realize there are some deer hunters that would like to see the HUSH program go away for a variety of reasons, but hopefully not this one. If this becomes law I can't see any lockers accepting deer for HUSH regardless of method of take.
Here is a link to the DNR site that has the agenda.

The agenda is a PDF and try as I might I couldn't figure out a direct link. The agenda is way down at the bottom of the page, click on 2014-01-23 NRC ai.pdf. The actual petition starts on page 22. The petition itself is an interesting read.
