45 day season????

[adloos]

I was reading an article how MN wants to cut the season down to 45 days. This would mean that MN is the only state to do something like this. Yes, duck population is down this year, but a 45 days season. This just would not be fair.

ya the duck numbers are barely down from last year, heck the pintails are actually up for once!!! if anything this will happen down the road in a few years, not this year

I heard that MN will have a pintail season all year. 1 per day. This will be awesome!!

well it looks like you guys have your 60 day duck season but you only get to shoot 4 ducks. not sure what wisconsin is doing yet, i sure hope they dont do the same thing but more than likely they will. if they dont i wonder how many people will be buying out of state licences :confused:

I'm sure it will be the same for wisconsin too. But who knows. That does suck only 4 birds, that means I will have to go in early EVERYDAY, because of my limit. :D
Fishermanpepin: To bad you never got to experience that yet,,, gettin a limit.

ok ok this isnt a full limit. very well could of had one. i was hunting by my self during the gun deer season when everyone else was busy wasting their time chasing white tails. i had my three greenheads and i wanted to get out of there so the ducks could get back in. what i thought were two hens came in and i shot once to get my 4th mallard. well turns out it was a gad so i stuck around and got one more greenie. very well coulda had a limit if i woulda shot that other gad

me and a buddy of mine went out to lake pepin a few days after my last post. it was the last weekend of the deer season and he had already shot his buck. decided to do a little lake shore hunting on lake pepin and well, you can see the ducks were there. i know i know theres two suzies there but when you got flocks of up to 50 come in you sometimes hit more than one. had a few bills and a few buffleheads come in also but as the diver hunters know well you got to kill them the first shot cuz when they hit the water they are under. lake pepin is very big and offers an easy excape when you are hunting with a young dog. we also shot 2 limits of mallards that day too but one we had to do the whirlie bird on and well he kinda got decapitated and wouldnt of looked good in the picture

this was a few years ago when the bottoms were totally flooded. we had some awesome flooded timber shoots uncluding this one. my dad and one of my friends were on this one too. one of the birds in the picture was banded. cant tell from the picture tho. ended up with 10 ducks and decided to call it a day. could of went back that nite im sure and shot the other two but decided to let them rest and hunt them in a few days. shoulda went back tho cuz as fast as they came they were gone

these are all the pics i have left on the computer. the rest of mine went down when hunt101.com removed all of their photos

[Kris Brantner]

here are some misc pics. including a decent greenwing, an early season can and my dog when he was a pup. also if you know my well you know that i love to crow hunt. well the ducks werent there that morning so i decided to so hastle some crows. well this sucker came in with about 25 other crows. pretty cool eh?!

Nice pics, how old is your black lab? If I end up getting a wis license this year we will have to hit up pepin and you can show me how its done.
