Question: Some say if you are duck hunting on a refuge and you have some lead quail loads in the truck (because you're going quail hunting on the way home in the afternoon), a game warden could ticket you for having lead shot in possession. Other friends say that as long as the lead shot is secured in the truck and not in your actual possession while hunting, then you're not in violation. It seems to me this situation would be like the 25 shell limit in the field. As far as I know you can have additional shells in your truck as long as you only have 25 or less in your possession while hunting. If you run out then you can return to the truck for more. Who's right?

Answer: You are. As long as the lead stays in your truck, you should have no problem.
