Shotgun shells with tightly packed seasoning pellets inside instead of steel shot, will soon be the best way to kill game birds.
  Inventor Brett Holm of Chaska, Minn., and his partner Dave Feig, are aiming to have their new "Season Shot" product on the market by mid-summer, 2007. It's not a joke. Their "ammo seasoning" is patent-pending worldwide at the same time. The biodegradable, dissolving shot enables hunters to shoot, kill and season their game at the same time.
  Hardened pellets of spice kill the bird and heat from the oven melts them into the meat. No BB's need to be removed so diners can be a lot more relaxed with no worries about chipped teeth. The bird's internal juices dissolve the pellets, and deep flavoring is distributed throughout the meat, seasoning it from the inside out.
  "Season Shot means no wasted time, no wasted meat and no waste left behind in the environment when you're hunting," Holm says. "I invented this flavored ammo because after I chipped my tooth, I just knew there had to be a better way."
  Initially, Holm and Feig will offer garlic and herb-flavored shot. Future flavors will include lemon pepper, Cajun, Terriyaki, mesquite and Mexican.
  The product is comparable in range and accuracy to steel shot, with "knock down power to 45 yards." It's suitable for hunting all upland birds, and turkey within 25 yards, according to Holm. Because of their feather plumes, Season Shot will only kill geese and ducks if shot while coming in to land, he says. "We're working on a bigger shot for ducks and geese," he adds.
  The partners have decided to do their own U.S. manufacturing and will sell Season Shot online by mid-summer, 2007. They're also looking for someone in Canada to buy licensing rights.
