YA i didn't have the regs handy and am used to it being two on the west side and wasn't sure if it was the the same limit on the east. wasn't trying to come off as a game patroller on here either. sorry i was wrong and should have checked first. I do know the sea duck authorization is required for them on the west side and don't understand that either but picked it up anyways and glad i did. Ended up going to one of My secret spots""""

on a lake and got a surf scoter hen and barrows goldeneye drake there in the same day. really wierd to see a scoter in a fresh water lake like that. not seeing any puddle ducks but am starting to see sea ducks.

anyways congrats on a good hunt
