I moved from CA to ID two years ago. I used to hunt Wister and SJ constantly.
As evil as CA is, I never knew how good I had it at Wister. I’m still glad I escaped Hellifornia. But, I do miss Wister and SJ.
Quite frankly, duck hunting in ID sucks. We have WMAs. But, they are crowded and they just don’t hold the duck numbers that Wister has. Besides opening day, there are no real flights of birds. There is so much water here in Idaho, the ducks don’t concentrate. They are everywhere in small numbers. You can do okay if you have a boat on the snake river. But, it still isn’t like Wister. I don’t want to buy a boat.
Does OR, WA, or UT have refuges that you can get a reservation, pick a spot, and hunt like Wister?
At this point, I would gladly make the drive.
