I'm hunting private property.
That's not really telling now is it?  :chuckle: It's a type of property, not a location.
Seems like if you're gonna ask where, ya outta tell where too.... just sain'.  ;)

I'll be hunting public land on the wetside. I'll go even farther by adding  - somewhere between skagit and snohomish counties. Pretty excited about it too...

Going where the ducks and geese are.  Going to set up on the X hopefully as I have been scouting every other day.

If I wasn't occupied with deer and Idaho elk, I'd be on the Columbia by the tri cities, went there last year for the opener and besides the people camping out a week in advance it was awesome!

Deeeeer hunting.   :tup:

I did the opening day duck camp routine for decades in the P.Holes areaz.  I'm just not up for that anymore.  My "opener" for ducks is December. 

Good luck to all you true hardcore waterfowlers braving the early season mad houses.

Somewhere near Moses or Ephrata, my first real year of the waterfowl thing. Any advice? My 2 buddies are seasoned so hopefully it works out.

Everybody just go deer hunting and be sure to walk up on every pond you come to and scare the birds off just don't shoot at them with your rifle had 2 knuckleheads do that a year ago and it's pretty spooky getting your deks shot at lucky they were pisspoor shoots and missed  :yike:  With you all going deer hunting and doing this it'll keep the birds moving for me.

Oh and I'll be on public land on the dryside  :chuckle:

I'll be trying a private lake south of Tacoma for the first time.  Not a lot of birds around yet though.

   thats what everyone says but never true just to get a decent spot on public land you have to be out the door by 1:30 did tht plenty of times last year glad i have private spots were i can sleep in till whatever time and know the ducks will be there but good luck to you  :tup:
what area will you be hunting the samish island area ?
