    Oregon / Utah - do they have Wildlife Areas with a draw system?

    Thanks. Sounds like something worth trying. It’s a 5 hour drive. That’s doable.

    Oregon / Utah - do they have Wildlife Areas with a draw system?

    Thanks. I spoke to Utah DF&G. There is no reservation system.

    Oregon / Utah - do they have Wildlife Areas with a draw system?

    Are there public duck hunting spots in Oregon or Utah that have a draw system similar to Wister or San Jacinto? I do not know much about these two states and am starting my research.

    Idaho duck hunting - any advice?

    I have not seen CJ strike or Hagerman. I just moved to Eagle in June. I scouted Monitor, Payette, and Ft. Boise last weekend. It was very underwhelming. I was planning to drive to Hagerman this weekend. But, now I think my wisest bet will be to learn how to play pickleball (my sarcasm)...

    Idaho duck hunting - any advice?

    100 yard shots. Now, you are reminding me of San Jacinto! Haha. I appreciate the straight talk even if it is not encouraging. What do you think of the duck hunting at CJ Strike and Hagerman? Is it any better there?

    Idaho duck hunting - any advice?

    Man. 7 feet apart? If I didn’t know better, it seems like you are describing Niland dove on a WU field opening morning.

    Idaho duck hunting - any advice?

    Thanks for all the great replies. That really helps. I'll check out Hagerman. Aeon, I agree. I have a healthy respect / fear of the snake river. Unfortunately, I don't own a boat. So, I think the rules out the snake for me. Wister was great. So many good memories. Physically, CA is...

    Idaho duck hunting - any advice?

    I have hunted Wister and San Jacinto for 15+ years. I just recently moved to Boise, Idaho. Can anyone help give me the big picture on how things work here? It seems like there isn’t anywhere really like a Wister with a reservation system and large number of ponds. Idaho has WMAs that seem to...

    Wister days numbered…?

    That is sad. I escaped from Hellifornia 3 months ago. I feel bad for you guys. Wister was one of the very very few things I will miss. It is sad to see them destroy that too. If we are honest, Wister has not been good for several years. I remember the mid 2000’s. It was amazing back then...

    TRUMP INDICTED

    Yep. You decoyed right into the governments spread. You should have known better. If you don't get aggressive cancer, die in your sleep, or have heart inflammation, the next pandemic will get your compromised immune system. You screwed up bad.

    TRUMP INDICTED

    His renegotiation of NAFTA was great, and his America First ideology I believe has taken root on both the left and the right. President Trump didn't get us into any wars...bless him for that. 100% agree! They got rid of him because he would not give them their Ukraine War. Obama, Biden, and...

    TRUMP INDICTED

    Okay. I need to clarify my lazy comment. I can see why you guys don't agree. What I meant to say is more a reflection of the fact he is lazy in doing his mental homework. Instead of doing the research and thinking for himself, he trusted corrupt pharma individuals to fast track a vaccine...

    TRUMP INDICTED

    Steve, we agree on a lot. But, if you can’t see that Trump is an ego maniac, I can’t help you. He is the worst judge of human character in the world. Almost, everyone he appointed was the swamp. He alienated people unnecessarily. He calls himself the FATHER of the COVID so called vaccine...

    TRUMP INDICTED

    America is now a banana republic. This is a lawless attempt to take him out as a political opponent. Trump did MANY good things. But, his ego and laziness put him in this position. He did not drain the swamp, he did not build the wall, and he did not "lock her up". Almost everyone he...

    San Jacinto - how bad are the roads?

    I have a reservation for Saturday. Is Davis Road driveable? I have a 4Runner. My understanding when it gets bad is to stay in the center and go SLOW. Question #2 - are the roads open to the blinds? I have walked from the check station once. It wasn't fun.

    San Jacinto - a question about the hunt results

    I have one more theory on why the San Jacinto bird average is low … Theory - San Jacinto attracts a less skilled hunter than Wister for those that get reservations. Therefore, they miss more making the average less than it could have been. The guys that wait for the afternoon refill are hard...

    San Jacinto - a question about the hunt results

    Do you think the hunt results are artificially low for San Jacinto? My reasoning is that San Jacinto doesn't typically shoot well in the afternoon. And, because it is so close, many people refill in the afternoon not getting many birds. My theory is that if you were to only calculate the...

    Question for Benellli M2 shooters

    Thanks to everyone. I will make the switch to dry lube and test it at my range (WEGC). I have some Federal 3" shells that don't pattern well in my gun. I just found a purpose for them.
