Did anyone see the article on the goose hunters on the St Joe river? They are really out to stop us hunting the river. See article at www.etruth.com |

Common sense and courtesy go a long way. This article and Pigeon's experience aside, I have seen hunters do things that IMO were just asking for trouble. Parking your boat 3 feet off someones pier and tossing out decoys while someones grandchildren are fishing off that pier is probably not a very good idea. If you're going to set-up 50 yds from someone's house and start shooting at 6:30 in the morning, chances are they'll be mildly  ed. Having a right to do something doesn't always mean it's the right thing to do. I just ask my fellow hunters to use some discretion, put yourself in that landowner/homeowner's position. Make sure you are setting a positive example with your decisions. If your rights as a hunter are being fringed upon while you're exercising good judgement then by all means stand your ground and contact a CO. |

Eh!!! still kicking myself for not dumping it before it made it out in front of you! I did finally get into some banded geese this fall though. I need to find a way out on the river by my house for this conservation season, birds are stacked up nicely.
