Same places? I've been out a few times goose huntin' and got a few birds....couple of buddies went out, 3 of them and had 28 birds down on opener Gettin' ready for my annual moose hunt...leaving two weeks later than last year, as we were huntin' in 25 degree weather last year....looks like we could have went on opener this year as the weather seems to be cooperating.... Got a brand new property to hunt for deer this year....lookin' at gettin' my fourth... What's everyone else doin'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gbfisher Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 which of the five stages are you at Marty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I'll be heading out for goose this weekend for my first hunt of the year. Just got a new 870, and am pumped to break it in! I've never been bear hunting before, but have a new property lined up that has a few bears kickin around. Hopefully I'll drop my first bear this year. I've been hunting deer with a crossbow the last 3 years. But this year I'm going see about using my recurve. I've been practicing as much as I can, but still am only confident inside 20 yards Shapin up to be a great season. Really looking forward to it!

AzuluSpookd Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Although it may sound cool, I'm sure what he means is he will either be in a canoe or boat with only paddles while hunting...and no motor attached...because we don't want to promote illegal activities here.. If it's where I think you're going (17)...better watch out....CO's are there..and hiding...charged a group last year, who shot from their boat...even though they weren't movin'...motor still attached...big fine!

Correct me if im wrong!You are right but from what I remember, the fuel tank/line has to be disconected from the motor while hunting!Before and aft/its ok!I dont hunt out of a boat and its been a while!I enjoy a walk threw the forest on a cool morning in the fall to early winter!

AzuluSpookd Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 There's a special exception for waterfowl hunting...only. How does this work for duck hunting?

AzuluSpookd Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 If there's a motor, whether it be electric or gas....you're done. Can't hunt from it for moose or other except waterfowl. Gas disconnect means nothing.

Sinker Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 You can hunt from a boat, you just can't shoot from one. The waterfowl regs are found in the migratory bird act. You can shoot from a boat, as long as forward momentum has stopped. The priciple of that law is that you can't chase birds and shoot them. I'll be out whackin ducks as soon as season opens. We already have enough geese for now, the early season is just way too easy. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
