I have only been waterfowl hunting since I moved to VA, but I have had the pleasure the last two years to try my luck at divers. We had the bluebills so thick last year in 15 -20 minutes we would have our 3 per person limit. We actually videoed a couple hunts. After watching the videos you couldn't believe you were the ones hunting in the middle of it.
They have/going to change the limit to 2 birds per day here in VA. Although its disappointing I want to enjoy that kind of hunting for years to come.
It certainly can't help the birds are being exposed to all the pollutants in the water we hunt in. I remember reading an article last year about male smallmouth bass in the upper Potomac River, in Maryland and West Virginia that had formed both female and male sex organs. Now I'm no damn rocket scientist but if the fish are having problems it only makes sense other wildlife would see direct affects from the same pollutants.
As much as I want to go out and bust up them 'bills this year, I want to make sure we are doing right for the scaup population.
But that is one dumb ass's opinion. And you know what they say about opinions... they are like ********, everyone has one and they all stink
