NW Chapter Washington Waterfowl Association

[Special T]

Saturday October 9th 10am the NW chapter will be hosting a Farmed Island Tour. WDFW Cosgrove, who manages the property, will be leading the tour answering questions. This is a free event. Come check out this unique property.


(My personal commentary)
Soon this historic piece of hunting land will be turned into a mass of cattails in the name of salmon habitat restoration. They dont yet have the funding to destroy it so experience a little piece of Skagit river hunting history.

Bummer deal.  It has really hunted well the past few years and gives lots of hunting opportunity to a variety of people.

Veteran/AcƟve Duty/Youth Waterfowl Hunt
 The NW Chapter sponsored Youth and Veteran
waterfowl hunts on February 5th. This was the third year
that the chapter sponsored this special hunt opportunity.
Hunts were conducted from several locaƟons from Samish
Bay to the Snohomish River Delta. We had numerous
Veterans and Youth parƟcipate in the event.
 The weather and Ɵdes were in our favor again this
year although hunt success was down from last year.
Several hunters took home a mixed bag of ducks and a few
Brant were also taken.
Special Thanks...
 
 … goes out to Tony
Breckenridge (Edison Gun Club),
Adam Schuller for coordinaƟng
the Edison hunt, Amber
Parmenter (The Nature
Conservancy) and the Blue Chip
Gun Club. The Edison Gun Club
provided blinds and decoys for
the hunt. Thanks to NW
Chapter members Tom EllioƩ
and Rick Billieu for providing
guided hunƟng opportuniƟes.
 
 As always, a Big
Thanks to our Veteran/
Youth Hunt Coordinator Rick
Skiba who was once again
instrumental in seƫng up
another successful hunt with
great memories for all.

Tom Elliott took myself and a young fella, Bradley,  out for the Veterans and youth hunt. The day turned south a bit when we got rousted out of our spot by an off duty warden who was out with his kids but it was a great experience otherwise to have the kindness and sharing that Tom gave to us. I had never been in that area by boat. It was a treat to see how he set up, and the company of his dog. My buddy Tobin made the connection with Tom for us.
    Thanks for that!
