If they are true to their word,as they stated in the 2017 symposium, then the worst is yet to come. Unfortunately.

 

Hopefully the rest of the state also western side is hurting for birds

 

I have not been seriously duck hunting for that long, about 3 years, but man we seem to have plenty of mallards the places I hunt. I really wish they had gone to a three and one rule. What's the long term plan? I can't see it ever going back up if there has been a long term decline and the reason is in known. I do not feel hopeful about mallard hunting in the east.

 

If they would just stop the egg oiling campaign there would be plenty of geese. It's like these stupid people don't think geese can fly

Pay attention here Boatman, this is the AP Zone and these geese breed in the Hudson Bay/Ungava Bay region of Canada. No oiling of eggs up there that I'm aware of.
Of course maybe you have some info that you could share with us poor souls and prove what you're saying is correct. It's easy to see not much has changed with you since you got run out of HPA.

 

I left HPA because I can't stand people like you and your friends that kill ducks and don't eat them. If you want target practice go shoot some clay birds.

And if you don't think any geese are laying eggs between Pennsylvania and the Hudson Bay you might want to crawl out from under that rock you live and look around a little bit, they are laying eggs but they aren't hatching!

 

You're the one who looks at posts all over the internet checking for any violations cause you think you're connected to the law. There were no violations so you tucked your tail between your legs and then got run out of HPA.

And how many AP Geese you think are nesting here in Pa that have their eggs oiled? :hammer:

 

I only make him aware of it I don't decide to investigate or not.
I know several state and local parks just in my area that do it

Oh and by the way this is a extremely funny post, you are quite the keyboard jockey

 

They are done saddling eggs in the pymatuning zone. Thought they said they was going to stop because the reduction of geese. When I talked to the guy doing it it seem they get federal aid for doing it. What a crock. They only do it south of 285. North part is where the refuge is. Wish this would stop. Back in the 70'80's that lake would sustain 15000 geese. Now it would be lucky to have 3000. Over the past few years I see less and less hunters. Not sure how much longer I will spend the money to the sport I love the most.
