To the hunter who peppered us.

Yesterday morning at Ebey Island. You know who you are!!! You knew that we were there duck hunting but you shot twice anyways and sprayed us while picking up our decoys. Show some respect for other hunters on public land!!! We have the same right as you do to be out there.

Gravity spray or straight on? 

In any event it wasn’t me, I gave up on that soggy “Island” (swamp is a better description) weeks ago.  I may hunt ducks out there now that the pheasant release is over.

Hopefully no one was hurt.

I quit hunting those *censored* ponds and spencer island Years ago! Used to be a little know secret, but then there are those who feel the need to spread every little place on line!!!

It was stright on as we got hit hit from our legs to our shoulders on one side of our bodies. I just dont understand the hunters that will sit and wait 30 yards from our set up with their dogs barking for 8:00 to come around and dont think it will interrupt our hunt?? We respect other hunters and dont shoot if people are in the area where we think we might pepper them with falling shot, but to have 8:00 come around and have Pheasent hunters walk 20 yards right in front of us and past our decoys like we're not even there is a joke. Maybe next time we'll just shoot anyways and see how they feel afterwards.

Sorry that you got shot but you should not be out there before 8:00am

Hey cp, nice photo....still doesnt justify doin the dick cheney to someone! if you got a problem, call the gamey, its THEIR job to enforce laws

it seems like a lot of the w.w. pheasant hunters show no consideration to waterfowlers!

That's to bad that you guys got shot at and it is a good thing that you guys were not hurt.

I agree.  A lot of pheasant hunters have no respect for pheasant hunters, and water fowlers that have no respect for other water fowlers, and water fowlers that have no respect for pheasant hunters.  No one should get shot.  Call it in.

It's a pheasant release site. You can't be out there duck hunting before 8:00. If you are, then you have no right to complain about pheasant hunters interfering with your hunt.

This does not sound like an intentional shooting.  It sounds more like you had shot "rain" down on you and more than likely the "shooter" has no idea that he dropped shot on you.
If there are no pellets stuck in flesh it's not a Dick Cheney thing, it's like getting hailed on.

Those fields are already crowded, never understood the guys that are in such a hurry to jump the 8:00 whistle and get out in front of everyone.  A couple pheasants or ducks are not worth standing in the front of the line.

The OP brings up several issues:

1.   Getting shot.  Not good.  But gravity rain happens.  Anyone that has hunted awhile has been rained on.  I’ve even been rained on by my shot.  Straight on, high energy “Dick Cheney” events should not happen, no one should argue that is in anyway justified or excused.

2.   Waiting 30 yards away for 8:00am to roll around.  Those waiting for 8:00am are obeying the law; those in the field with decoys out are breaking the law. 

3.   Hunters walking in and around his setup. 
You’re in a pheasant release site, what do you expect?  Pheasant hunters are going to be around you, they are going to be making noise and they are wearing orange.   Do you really expect a quality water fowl hunt in a pheasant release site?
