A Friend got 2 birds yesterday at the Stanwood site.  he said there was 27 cars in the parking lot.  how do you get to the release sites on the island I  don't know where they are and can't seem to find them on game department website.

A couple of them are on military property and you have to have a special permit from the military base.  There are a few others down by Coupeville.

D-rock - the site at Stanwood...are you referring to Smith Farm?  I thought this was closed this year due to the salmon project for the Skagit Headquarters?

Matt I went down to the OLF site, and watched everyone else get there fill.  My dog retrived a bird for antoher hunter   Which site did you use?

I think they are releasing birds one more year.  I could be wrong.

I was at the Upper Game Reserve on the Seaplane Base.  Was it pretty crowded at the OLF?  We almost went to Ebey's Landing but heard it was a zoo.

its hit and miss down there, but i prefer that area, little closer to home.
