Hunting high elevation?
« on: November 15, 2016, 01:25:51 PM »
Novice waterfowler here. While there are lowland lakes and ponds within an hours drive of me, there are also a few higher elevation lakes around my neck of the woods.  Can the high lakes be productive for ducks, or would it be just a waste of time?  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Its usually pretty rare you will see a duck in the High Elevation lakes, if they are there its usually just on their way thru

Mainly goldeneyes, broods rather than flocks.  I would think earlier would be best.  The best waterfowl hunting in or near Chelan Co. by far is the Columbia River.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
