I have been sitting here thinking about this for quite some time and I am perplexed.
I have a hard time believing that a true waterfowler would do such a thing, I do on the other hand don't believe in conspirisy theories, but wouldn't this make a nice show for the tree huggers? I bet PETA was thrilled that they could show how the "hunters" were ruining the waterfowl.
We all know they exsist, all we can do is turn them in when we see them. As fabs will tell us, and the CPO has told me, the CPO has to catch the perpetrator in the act.
As far as "trash" ducks are concerned, I'm guilty. I make it plain from the start I don't want scaup, I will shoot them if someone wants them, hell, I enjoy shooting them but I don't take them home and I don't shoot them if no one wants them.
My big legal problem is with possession limits. I save all my duck and goose breasts and have summer sausage made out of it at the end of the season. I will also have one or two other hunters ducks in my freezer, I should have their names on them but then they would be breaking the law also. I now have 35 pkgs of sausage in my freezer and am waiting on everyone to pick theirs up. CPO would have a field day.
I know for a fact if I get a chance to shoot nuisance geese they'll be in the freezer until the end of the regular season. Along with my mallards,canvasbacks,pintail,widgeon,woodducks and teal. No bills tho!!!!
