Hey guys, I'm a newbie to duck hunting, and hunting from a kayak in general, and I've got some questions I hope ya'll could help me out with. The big one is... how do i find out where its legal for me to shoot ducks from a kayak? I can find some spots on google earth that i think would be fun to go, but I have no idea if you actually can paddle around and shoot from the kayak there, and other than looking up the county firearms discharge laws, i don't know where to start.way less important questions:- Does anyone have experience using a pump shotgun from a kayak? I don't think that it would be a big deal, but I don't know what I don't know. Not enough movement to make a difference.- Some of the areas that I am thinking of hunting would be salt water, other than just cleaning the gun really well before and after trips, any tips on preventing corrosion? There are spray on coatings like RustGuardIt that will help.- Do you have to anchor, or can you shoot while drifting? Depends what county you are in, I think Skagit is the only one that has an anchor/grounded requirement.-Any prohibition against things like Hobie's peddle driven system? I doubt there are, but again, I don't know what I don't know. No, anything people powered is ok to shoot from while moving, other than in Skagit.Thanks guys,Chris
Thanks for the fast reply guys! As far as where to hunt goes, it sounds like any of the Wildlife areas that are open to hunt are good to go, as long as I'm obeying the individual restrictions (ex, union river you must use the public blinds)Outside of those wildlife areas, how do you determine if the body of water is legal to hunt? Im looking specifically at the bay that the the grays harbor units are positioned around, and maybe southern part of the hood canal, outside the skokomish delta.
