So does this mean the combined sea duck total is only 2 ducks in a day, or you have 2 Scoters, 2 Old Squaws, 2 Goldeneyes, etc?
Does this have any effect on Harli's? God Bless,
Just some anecdotal evidence....I have spent four years here in the San Juans and spend a lot of time on the water, not necessarily hunting, and have noticed a decrease in the numbers of both scoters and oldsquaw the last two winters. Just my How many scoters does one need a day? They aren't in the top 5 for eating ducks, at least in my book.
They're migratory species, I hope they're not just basing this decision off of surveys done solely within WA waters.
Meats is correct. Some of the guides moved into my spot in the south sound two years ago and magically the birds left the area. Guess what? I moved less than a mile and again, just as they dissappeared, poof they reappeared in another area! Please read the thread in "general" about the meeting on Friday everyone.
This is why I joined Washington For Wildlife. I'm sick of seeing us get kicked around like this, its a long time comin' that we have a WA specific organization that serves to promote our tradition to hunt and fights to protect it.
no more of this
I have already looked at hunting B.C.. You dont need a guide, 8 bird limit with no stipulations except 2 Harli's a day. You can shoot 8 scoters there. Its just going to be a pain getting through customs everytime with a shotgun. Im going to have to do overnighters to make it worth it. I havent decided for sure if its worth it or not.

I agree 100%. 2 harlis, 8 seaducks. I think we should try to plan a wa hunt invasion, like a 3 day trip. make it worthwhile. can probably get a group of guys with layouts, tenders, etc.
