If you were hunting nas whidbey island and you decided to start shooting at 0705,  thanks for breaking the law and screwing everyone else out of the days hunt.  I'm not sure why people can't follow the law and do the right thing.  we are in the military and hold ourselves to very high standards.  absolutely unsat in my opinion.  read the regs and know whats going on.

I would guess that flushing birds out of the area before legal shooting is what he's talking about.

Can you clarify which part is confusing? The "ruined..whole day" part? The flushing birds before legal shooting? Or?

The first wave of the birds going from bedding area to the bay is the primary time to shoot.  yes the birds fly all day but this is a cumulative of many issues with the same people hunting the area.  I was so pissed that I had to watch hundreds of mallards fly feet away from me and couldn't shoot that it ruined the whole day.  most people would have shot anyways but I do have principles and integrity.  no excuse for this kind of crap.

I was there with another huntwa member and dealt with the same thing :bash:  It souded like blind 6 or 7 did the early shooting.  What blind did you have today?   I was over in 4 skybusting at the geese around 0900:chuckle:  I saw the mallards fly over us from the blind 2 direction.  :bash:

If you know what blind it was coming from you can tell the lady that reserves the blinds and the MA game warden will talk to them. Just tell them what happened usually fixes the slackers that hunt there.

no I shot one bird, and it glided way out in the bay.  My dog tracked the fall, but by the time he got out there it had swam away. :bash:  We were skybusting, but on days like today its hard not to.   :chuckle:  Could have been blind 5 then, but from wehre I was sitting in 4 it sounded like it came from the housing side right around blind 6/7.  If it had glided any farther, it would have landed in the lower game range :bash:
