I am happy to report that the fowl bill that would have required duck and goose hunters to get permission from riparian landowners to hunt in public water closer than 150 yards to shore is no longer moving forward. A lot of waterfowl hunters showed up and wrote or called their state legislators to oppose this bill. It is a good thing because many of us would have lost our ability to hunt public water and waterfowl hunting and conservation in general would have taken a direct hit as a result of a few greedy people wanting the water to themselves. For those of you that opposed this bill and did something about it, Thank you!
