Doing my part to help out the salmon population, LOL.
More meat for the sausage/pepperoni pile.

Lawn darts and blue bills.   :chuckle:  The lawn darts are a good fast flying pass shooting target.

Heck they taste good as bacon wraps.  Nobody at work could tell the difference between them and teal, bufflehead or goldeneye.  I marinated with Allegro for 24 hours.  All tasted better than dove wraps.

I wish we had a separate bag limit on saw bills. I'd shoot a few more on the river.

When I started duck hunting in WA state there was a separate 5 mergie limit.

I think the separate limit went away in the late 80's when the overall duck limit went from 7 (and a separate mergie limit) down to 5 ducks total.  Later it was amended back to 7 ducks but without the separate mergie limit.

This might be something to ask the commission to reinstate.

I agree that they shouldn't effect the daily duck bag limit.
