Is this a good thing? Brandt hunters.
« on: April 25, 2011, 08:43:26 PM »
Got this from WDFW Wildthing today.  After some digging, came up with this.  I have not yet hunted Brandt so I don't know whether to comment good or bad.  Knowing the Department, they are reducing the area available, and since they have apparently already put up new boundary marker signs, I am guessing any comments opposed will be ignored anyways, as usual.   :bash:

Swinomish Spit Game Reserve....

Enjoy.

It's not a bad deal.  The brant fly there to hit the sand / gravel beds at low tide.  If they didn't protect this area everyone would be set up there and blow the birds out of the area.  As it is the boats set up just outside the newly placed markers and the birds have to fly a gauntlet to get there.  In any case someone always sets up inside the boundaries every year.  Some get caught some don't.  So, if your new to brant hunting figure it out before o'dark thirty on opening morning.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

Thanks for the response.  I was just curious.

It does seem SOP for WDFW to put out a comment period on something that has already been decided.   :dunno:

That must be the area where they're dumping loads of grit gravel for the Brant.

it's really not all that different from the gauntlet of hunting fields surrounding the reserve on the Island for the snows.

Sounds like it makes the reserve quite a bit bigger.
