the guy that owns the fishery where i fly want the duck numbers reduced as well as the rabbits squirrels and alike i was not intetionally hunting pheasant or ducks we have spent most of the season up there with a male harris a 1st year bird but he did not have much sucess so i had to get a bird that knows the score up there as i did not want to lose the ground it took long enough to get he even asked me about canada geese as he has over 200 there give us a break

just letting you know that i had to double check that your symbol was the male one.
How did you go about getting hunting permission on the lake? Do you need to go when there are no fishemen about...which is prolly before 6am. Also do you have any trouble with fishing tackle on the birds?

no trouble with fishing tackle and as for getting permission i was actually fishing there and the bailiff was just chatting about all the trouble they were having with morhens and alike they had too many so i just said i had a bird that could keep the numbers down so he asked the owner and way you go
