Regs Set!



The waterfowl regulations for the 2010-2011 season have been set.  We can now start planning out hunting trips, getting gear ready, and buying stuff we don't need.  I am new to duck hunting and this year i plan to target puddle ducks.  Last year we shot a bunch of  long tail, buffle heads, brant, and mergs.  We learned a lot and are planning to apply all the hard lessons learned in our next season.  I plan to do a lot of scouting so on 11-20-10, We can kill a black duck or a mallard.
