Seaduck Hunt Guides/Outfitter

[Sundance]

I believe this state had a rough quota for harlis to maintain sustainable harvest. Manage them under a season structure similar to brant. Handful of days in January would allow folks to collect a beautiful trophy while keeping harvest numbers low.

Talk is if we ever get harlis back it will be draw only.

What about residents only? Would essentially kill the guide business for them

Thanks for the input and insight as to the 'local' ethos.

If not in the Puget Sound/local. Where else? Oregon, etc? Not the end of the world if don't get a hunt in, was just something on our bucket list.

Thanks.

I would actually love to see Harley’s move to a draw. Make people buy a license to apply, pump up those PR dollars for license sales.

Hell, let’s put swans on there too.

No more draws or permits. We already buy 4 licenses to shoot a sea duck.

Swans will never happen in Washington. The "swan lady" has made sure of that. I went to Montana to get mine. As much as I'd like to see it happen here it never will.

Four? Guess I need to read the Regs as I was thinking about going out.

Small game + migratory permit + duck stamp + catch card?

Isn't there both a Federal and a State duck stamp?

[metlhead]

Small game, state stamp, federal stamp, sea duck authorization

If you're looking for next year I'd offer to take you out. I have two layaway boats that are painted up and all the decoys/rigging. We can discuss details if you'd like, typically I go out solo. I'm not claiming to be an expert, but I did get 2 white wings monday morning. Trying to close the year out with some surf's but they haven't cooperated the past week.
