2015 MadWags Memorial Members Tournament West Sat Oct 3 Fremont Lake Sign Up

[Genie]

2 guys duck hunting in a boat with a full spread of decoys and 3 dead mallards ... telling the CO they didn't know the season wasn't open yet .... as the CO was looking at guns, bullets, confiscating birds, etc.

Yeah... whoops. The one guy said he thought the other guy was keeping track of the season.

I always say every angler (and hunter) needs to know all the regulations, all the time.

As a duckhunter exttrodnare of no world renowned.
There is no excuse to be out a week early. Plus when ya don't see other guys setting up at 5:00 am. there is something wrong

I was a little surprised there was only 1 duck blind if it was opening weekend but then it is South and there are a bunch of houses on much of the lake, and I've never been to Fremont before. I didn't know if it was opening day or not. Just assumed it must be until I saw the CO watching from the boat ramp.

Once I gladly figured out he wasn't watching us I got suspicious that something was wrong. We discussed it and decided they must not be in season, which was the case when we got in to shore. Not a great way to start out your season for sure.

Thanks again to Slipkey for letting me spend the day in his boat!
