Dusty, I might know a couple youth hunters that would be interested in waterfowl. Both kids have mentioned it but I have never done it so have no idea what to tell them other than "we will see". How is that pup of yours filling out? I was thinking about you and him the other day, wondering if you were back from Alaska yet.  He should be a big beautiful dog by now. Take care.

I don't want to sound mean but I have a family member with property and about 3 on the list.  Sometimes hunters pull up and start asking me and I tell them who the owner is but chances are nil since I'm on the list but they insist to blow by me like a dirty shirt and use the skit only to end up slamming their truck doors on the way out.

Check the federal laws on charging for hunting.  You would have to word it as a day lease possibly, but not 100%.  If you get caught guiding without a license you would be in violation of the Lacey Act.  Do your homework by looking at the Federal and State waterfowl regs.

The liability with out a license is what scares me. If a guy gets hurt out there he will own you. I have to carry a million dollar policy to run clients. Goes up if they ride in your truck, quad, boat.

ya me too for sure I  will grease the palms for ducks geese what you got...looks like a long list already so you are set for the season.  but did you expect anything different...better yet call it a donation for the sustainability of waterfowl habitation...not pay to hunt.  good luck and i'll be looking for your lottery call.

Dale, a guy I hunt waterfowl with is licensed in WA to guide waterfowling and has been for years. Licensed and bonded.

That's a cheap easy process unless he has his USCG OUPV.

I usually help with a veterans hunt on the DHC board.  It would be cool to donate the land for a 1-2 day veterans hunt and I could connect the discussions if this is something you'd like to participate in. 

Feel free to PM me if you'd like to discuss this more.

what Tealer said... if you run them in a boat and they give you anything for services, you have to have a USCG oupv or tonnage license, pee test card, TWIC card, etc. PITA to maintain.

I am lost here ..If you pay someone to go hunting you are being guided    Is not that illegal without a license ?

Not in WA. There's no such thing as a guiding license here. It's a big issue, especially among quality guiding services who care about the reputation of their businesses.
