Great idea I will call the DEC and ask the million dollar questions. Hopefully so good will prevail. I will also ask the very few that I know about hunting waterfowl that is if they even entertain my question. One guy kind of looked at me started another conversation and ignored my question. LOL
Mike could you list the waterfowl clubs that you say exist. I know of one south shore waterfowl assc. When I search for others I can't find anything. I know from experience that a club is the way to get involved meet and greet, make new friends with similar interests and above all senior members with EXPERIENCE.
It is funny how I grew up here. Practically have done everything. And this subject of waterfowl hunting and this new but long term interest Of mine is a complete mystery to me. I see duck and goose all over Mill Neck Creek, the OB harbor, beaver dam. I learned to call geese and duck by sitting and listening to them. Not to brag but my goose calling is really good. I know the mill river gun club has a blind, this year I don't know where they placed cant see it from shore. I know waterfowl hunting is alive and well but I never really new how the waterfowl society is an extremely close knit group. Don't get me wrong I can absolutely appreciate this, I can relate to this from the marine corps. Rest assure I will not quit. I will find my answers all said respectfully and I will join the elite Long Island society of waterfowlers.
