Hi PREDATOR, Duck and Goose hunting is a passion for me as well. Don't get me wrong, I love Big Game hunting and Salt water fishing a lot, but waterfowl hunting is something I'll always cherish. This season however, we may be looking at a 3 duck per day limit and a short 30 day season. What happened to the "record number of birds" we have been told about for the last several years? Did someone miscount (yeah, right) or have we been told lies all along? Drought can play a major role but there isn't a drought over the entire North American Continent. Also, with Trapping being taken away from many places, the wild Predators (no pun intended) are devastating the waterfowl in many area's. Some area's suffer a 95% mortality rate. Something needs to be done to address the problem. As for my favorite duck, it would be the Pintail. Good hunting, Ghost <br><br>Famous last words: "Ah Bears are too big and fat to run fast"
