Should spinners be outlawed? Tell CDFW your thoughts.

[Designed2Hunt]

How do you all feel about CDFW proposing to consolidate the Junior and Veteran hunt weekends due to lack of staff resources and also proposing to outlaw mechanical spinning wing decoys?

Mike,

Thanks for sharing this....Just more BS and micro managing coming down the pike.....................

Next it will be spinner baits. I hate Ca. For you guys who have spent hundreds if not thousands on robo decoys maybe the state will have a robot buy back program, like gun buy backs.

Cutting carbon emissions, wind power only!

Banning spinners is listed as an alternative proposition. As is reducing limits and season length which is way more concerning. As stupid as banning spinners is who cares next to the possibility of the season being halved or limits reduced to 4.

I know first hand the usfw fed could care less about preseason prep. That starts in 2 months. Feds are clueless how to prep duck habitat vs. Cdfw.. cdfw are amazing and they care. Btw, ca. Is #2 in duck harvest besides stuggarrt,ar. So never bitch about ca. Duck hunting. We rock. 11 limits for me this year.

Who's bitching?...And actually, California is #1...Although, this quote is 5 years old....

What state kills the most ducks every year?

1: California. Ultimately, the contest wasn't close. Golden State waterfowlers averaged 24.5 ducks per hunter in 2016 (that's more than 1.15 million ducks taken by about 47,100 folks, if you're interested)....Oct 5, 2017
