Problem solved.


I'll support your bill provided we add an amendment to no more than 15 shells in your position.



This is spot on. It would 100% change the game I think.

I also think that most guys that blame this guy named Barny don't really scout good and Im thinking they also don't have a clue what ducks are looking for as far as food, rest, shelter, but again its that guy named Barny that constantly follows those poor souls around and ruins their hunt. Public is not bad at all, its just most guys that really do their homework and put in the time don't talk about it or post pics. Lots of people I know on this forum constantly haul in limits of mallards and sprigs they just don't post them or talk about it, and lots of them hunt the same lakes that this guy named Barny hunts, they just go a little farther in and hunt a little smarter. I wonder what this guy Barny that ruins all these hunts looks like?? Maybe yall need to look at the reflection in your decoys when your picking up and you might see him.



Spot on as well!

I learn something new just about every time I hunt either about the ducks or other hunters. At some point if these guy's stay in the game long enough, the light will finally come on eventually.
I know one kid that will have a much faster learning curve after this past week though. His fourth duck hunt and already wanting to be picky.

I have duck hunted for years, I also have DC calls from when hunting shows were on VHS tapes!!! Lol. I hunt public waters and invite many of my friends who are not as experienced or just beginning there duck hunting career!!! It's easy to make fun of people on here who ask questions and are trying to learn!!! In stead of getting online complaining about new guys not blowing on calls at the correct time or sky blasting ducks, why not try to educate them with a positive attitude!!!
As a Christian myself, I'm thankful a Christian family is not afraid to share there beliefs to the world, think about the audience they are reaching to share the Word of God. I have found that the majority of duck hunters on this forum are rude and condensending towards others who are trying to learn.

God Bless

Very true, plus most barneys dont realise that hunting on a big lake = hunting their roost
Ducks leave big lakes only to come back there at sunset.

True, but education starts at 5 yrs old, and most barneys are sooo under educated that the damage has already been done. Its like housetraining a 6 yr old chihuahua

Go train em captain jeff!

There are PLENTY of places to hunt on a big lake and not shoot a roost.

I am just getting into Duck Hunting partly due to the fact that quail hunting has become a thing of the past. I used to always have up to 22 pointers and ran guided hunts both wild and released birds, now I am down to 2 pointers that are getting old and no wild birds to speak of. I can quit hunting or do as my son-in-law has been trying to get me to do and convert to duck hunting. I just recently purchased a 3 year old lab from a Washita Retrievers and going duck hunting. I know I have a lot to learn but hopefully I won't make to many mistakes along the way. I know I helped alot of people get into quail hunting. I am setting up duck hunts with guides to take my 3 son-in-laws on over Christmas, one of them has never hunted at all, but he has been watching DD and wants to try. DD is one of the only shows on TV that you can watch with your grandchildren and not have to worry about what will be said or done. Just my 2 cents.

Once again the Beaver is dead wrong, which one of your guides told you that?
Probably the same ones that told you there were no ducks in North Texas a couple of weeks ago when you shared your knowledge with us then.

I've read a lot of different things on this post, like DD making for a lot of rookie duck hunters and deer hunters being bored of shooting tame deer and paying high lease prices are causing for a lot of rookie duck hunters.

I consider myself just a hunter wether its dove, duck, deer, squirrel, hog or frog. A jack of all trades, master of none.

I never watched an episode of DD until my WIFE actually came home with 1st 3 seasons of it cuz she watched a couple episodes on tv and thought it was funny. I sat thru a season of it with her and seen em squirrel hunt more than anything. And as with any reality show, very fake. They may be Christian folk, but they are rich christian folk. Money is talking more than christ is in MHO.

I only duck hunt on invites and hunt how they wanna hunt, wether its the correct way or not, I'm hunting and having fun.

That's what all hunting is about, being out there doing it and having fun

I agree with the beave, I watched a season of this 2 weeks ago and was very let down. Nothing to do with hunting, but just pushing their product is what its all about. CHA-CHING. All about the Benjamins, period.
