Wow3 peaks your first post and your already stating that no one here had or has been outraged our concerned about what has happened with the public duck hunting locations?. Your also assuming that the duck hunters on here follow the Washington water fowlers association.

Your also assuming that the duck hunters on here follow the Washington water fowlers association.There is no assumption on my part what so ever. Nothing I stated was personally directed at any one person here. That's an assumption on on your part. There lies the problem with the internet. Everybody tends to take things personal.I merely made a broad generalized statement that the vast majority of waterfowlers have been entirely apathetic about changes in waterfowl management in region 4 for some time now. Those that have actually tried to get involved and stop these things from happening have been a small minority unfortunately. Quite simply it's a little late in the game to be worrying about losing public walk in spots in the valley at this point.
The tribes are controlling our beaches - creeks - rivers and salt water ..At any given time when they decide they do not want us interfering with the surrounding habitat we will be shut down .

Samish is fine the way it is ,leave the dang thing alone.
Washington Waterfowlers have never spoke for me.

They started releasing pheasants at Welts the same year headquarters was put under water, and they thoroughly screwed over the duck hunting there for years by doing so.

Soils that are too wet to planted, and can't be drained make for poor crops of barley and make it impossible to plant corn. Dry ponds over run with cattails make for poor hunting. Flooded crops hunt better and make fresh water feeding habitat available for birds. Even if half of it goes to moist soil management it would be an improvement.Quote from: ghosthunter on July 31, 2015, 07:47:41 AMWashington Waterfowlers have never spoke for me. This statement takes the cake for me. The only grassroots state waterfowl org out there that has stood up to the state, repeatedly fighting against projects like Headquarters, Leque island ect doesn't speak for you. Hmmm....? Your bitching about management of public hunting areas in Western Washington right? Who do you think picks up shells and other trash when the seasons over, builds blinds for you to park your butt in, and funds things like brush mowers to maintain your hunting areas. Here is a hint. It's not WDFW, and its not DU either.
