[QUOTE="BBQBluesMan, post: 181463, member: 1007"] This! Don't forget the “I love shooting waterfowl but hate eating them” attitude. Pictures of piles and piles of birds, freezers full way past the possession limit, and I can only imagine a lot of wasted meat. Obviously there are exceptions to this, but by and large most of the "new" waterfowlers are in it just to go a whackin and brag about it on facebook or instagram. Sad but true in my best Lars Ulrich voice. I hate to say it, but waterfowl hunting has become quite the sh*tshow the last 5 or so years. I used to hunt waterfowl a lot. There are still good field hunting opportunities to be had, especially if you have some exclusive access to fields, but the days of just scouting around and finding that unposted gem are far and few between. The last couple of years pretty much every good field I have found has 1-3+ vehicles already watching it, or is posted up and access denied. The hours and miles and knocks on doors scouting the last few years just have not been worth it for me. Is what it is, but gets extremely frustrating knowing what we once had. Gets worse especially once the NR floodgates are open. I have pretty much resorted to hunting fields a couple times a year, where I know I have exclusive access.
