mergansers.... as horrific to eat as one would imagine???
I had no idea! Hadn't read the proclamation in years. Thanks.
This has been the best start to a season in ages. Lots of ducks and way fewer hunters than anticipated. On Sunday I was hunting a pretty popular area, and only heard one group shoot to the north a dozen times all day. I hunted solo and managed two greenheads, three gaddies, a GWT, plus a bonus BWT. Perfect pothole shoot out of my new skiff.
lawn darts - ha ha ha
and I'm with espringers - proclamations are a snore-fest
What did you get for a skiff?
My yikes is based on the changes in pintail/wood duck/scaup/canvasback limits from year to year. But if you're a true sportsman/waterfowler/man, you only shoot full plume mallards and Canadas, so no sweat.
