Thread: Ducks on the decline

Jeez HAPPY - your passion is showing through!!. Agree with your statement about all the young ducks being shot, and the wing flappers making "joe average" into limit takers.
I also hear stories about carnage from some private pond owners, and I think these guys feel justified in ignoring the limit bags etc, just because they have done the work in creating and feeding ponds. That's why I get annoyed that we get checked by rangers every year that I have shot on a F&G ballot area. We all have licenses, we have eyes on us from every 100 metres away from the neighbouring maimais. Chances are we will be obeying every rule, yet every opening we are targeted - seems like we are just easy to check. I think the rangers would be better off hitting other places.
