Trust me it has crossed my mind more then once to take a pellet gun down to RCP lake. I swim my dog there and do bumper training. There really is a decent waterfowl population. I know guys who use to hunt SD bay way back in the day. I bet Steve hunted SD bay probably has some pictures.

Steve is that a sea duck? For some reason I remember them saying they hunted sea ducks. How did you shoot that bird without camo waders?

 

[ilovesprig]

Drew,

That's a bufflehead......They have no problem with salt or fresh water.......Quite common in SD Bay.

And yeah, how'd we ever kill anything without a $400.00 jacket, $100.00 shirt, $200.00 pants, and $300.00 camo waders....lol

[Baldkrash]

Is it legal to hunt there?

 

[ilovesprig]

Is it legal to hunt there?

Not anymore......Last hunt with my cousins, 1986.

.

 

[Gspman]

Is it even legal to hunt with out all the expensive camo?

Nice Picts steve I love to see all the older hunting pictures. I lost all my grandfathers hunting pictures in a fire years ago.

Geez Steve, a WHITE turtleneck to boot!!

My Gpa tells me stories about hunting deer in a plaid flannel shirt with green and white squares...said he killed more then than ever did with modern camo...haha!

 

[ilovesprig]

I was matching the trash on the dike............lol

 

[ilovesprig]

This will probably be the attire for Saturday at Wister......1998.......

[Gspman]

So how deep are most of the ponds at wister? I've been out to san j and many were almost over my waders. I've only got about 3' of rope on my decoys right now.

 

[ilovesprig]

Doug,

Very very shallow for the most part......In fact, I'm bringing a bunch of full bodies......3' is MORE than enough.
