Where do I research or find a list/map of Public Waterfowl Land/Lakes?
I moved here from Minnesota last october and already getting the duck hunting itch.  MN DNR has a great waterfowl hunting map. Does WA have the same somewhere?  I've searched the net but I only get outfitters.

Thanks for the help.  Matt

Here is a link to their regs.  You may already have this, but it does at least give descriptions of different reserves etc.  I'll see if I can drum up anything else to help.

HEre is another link for you.  This is another forum, but might be a good place to pick up some info.  Again, you might already be aware of it. http://www.duckhuntingchat.com/viewforum.php?f=62 (http://www.duckhuntingchat.com/viewforum.php?f=62)

here ya go............ very important to read all the directions/suggestions before diving into the program

http://wdfw.wa.gov/mapping/gohunt/index.html

and then after you have found your area why not find a local chapter of the Washington Waterfowl ssociation chapter and see if there are any work parties scheduled for your selected area. If there isnt organize one...

Thanks for the help! I'll be driving from the lacey/nisqually area.  I have waders but no boat. Probably jumping creeks/rivers and swamps until i get a boat. Thanks again.  -Matt
