[PossumSlayer]

Wow!

 

[Levee Jumper]

Yes a good day at the office

Awesome hunt! Have y'all been burnt by the game wardens bad enough to justify a tag on every individual duck?

Or any for that matter?

It cost 4 of my hunters $4,000.00 a few years ago. I always tag.

If you get a chance, listen to the podcast from the owner of ToeTags. Feds put a hurting on him.

Individual duck straps/hangers. Keep your birds in your own possession till processed. If they leave your possession is when things get tricky.

No pile pics and that is easier to uplhold.

I can see where it can get very tricky when dealing with "clients" and Game Wardens. Its actually amazing to see how many people cant identify ducks (greyducks, pintail hens, wigeon hens, all divers, etc.) and how they interact with GW's. lIke the guy bragging about killing multiple pintails out of a single group.

 

[bluewinged46er]

How does that work? I don't think I have seen the reg that states that you need to tag each bird individually?

 

[Wildwings]

You can tag an individual strap and identify each duck or each duck must have a tag.

 

[Smashdn]

It isn't a regulation. A hunter must be able identify which birds he himself bagged. If they leave your possession before processing they have to be identified as to how many, what species and sexes, and the hunter's identification.

^That is paraphrasing from memory. Go to the usfws for the transportation requirements. (Also, still in the us, you need the head and/or one fully feathered wing left attached.)

Where guys run into trouble is when they can't tell which individual bird they bagged. Pile pic, hanging on a sign, thrown together in the boat or piled up at camp, etc. Green jeans rolls up he is going to want to know who killed what. If Bill's birds are there but Bill isn't, green jeans is going to assume you are over the limit (if more ducks present than an individual specie, sex and/or daily limit.)

Still plenty of ducks around the club. Moon and warm Temps have slowed it down but we won't complain, pretty decent weekend.

North Mississippi Delta has ducks. 4 man limit today

I'm glad there's some south of us- there's the smallest chance in the world we'll have backwater to hunt the last week of the season and I think we'd be better off catching some from the south rather than the north.
