Hunting trip

My grandfather, my dad, both of my Uncles and myself are going on a pheasant hunt this November in Iowa. I am really looking forward to this trip as the five of us have not been hunting together in a long time.

The WMA's and most of the hunting areas we will be in require non-toxic shot, which is fine as we are finding plenty of shotgun ammo with non-toxic birdshot. But Iowa is also having a major feral hog problem and they are encouraging all hunters who see one to shoot and kill it. I wanted to carry a handful of buckshot loads with me in case i ran into a hog, however, I cannot find any non-toxic buckshot loads. Do any of you guys know of any? I need 20 gauge 2 3/4" or 3" shells with any size non-toxic (steel is ok but non preferred) buckshot.

Thanks

I've poked around, they seem to have the best selection of nontox stuff but I don't see it in buck, I hope someone else can help find you some.

p.s. you can find nontox in rifle and pistol calibers as well if you don't mind bringing another gun.
