Then call your local game warden and ask about the lakes you've been seeing ducks on. One simple phone call or email.
Take a map book. Read the regs.

If you want the prime bush, follow the Dawg...
Don't be so hard on the guy !! I can't help in the loops but if your in lower mainland pm I'll take you out.
theres nothing on the regs about shooting on fishing lakes on region 3
I agree with ru rancher. If you didn't grow up waterfowling with family it can be fairly daunting aquiring good gunning! Some of you guys commenting on his post are in fact still wet behind the ears as far as I'm concerned??? I try to take new guys out every year and generally have had good success mentoring them. Lots of guys are all gung-ho to go and when the rubber meets the road they bail on me??? Maybe my quirkey reputation precedes
me???? Doesn't hurt to show newbies the ropes, remember boys strength in numbers when our sport is threatened!! --Cheers--Field Marshal.
While I echo a bit from everyone, it is mind blowing that for some reason water fowling gets more of these posts then anything else. I mean you never see, hey I wanna try sheep hunting, take me to your spot or variations of that. And it seems like every few days we get this.
We have taken new guys out every year. Quite a few actually. Every year since I have lived here. While I was far from a newb to waterfowling when I moved here, Field marshall actually offered to take me out and since then we have become quite the couple!.
However, my best advice to someone brand new to waterfowling is if you want to get into it, get into it. You don't have to have anything to offer persay ( although it helps, like a spot to go to, or a few dekes, or something to show you are committed) but the biggest thing is a super keener attitude. Be gung hoe! Guys with experience are not really likely to take a guy that "just wants to try and see if they like it before they spend the money" I know that type of approach doesn't even get a second look from me.
Wow, pretty harsh shit you guys! I always thought this was a place for hunters to share with other like minded people. It wasn't very long ago that Big Bore was in the same boat as yourself but now that he's a seasoned vet he comes off with shit like this! I'd love to help ya out but yer in an area I only hunt Deer in, sorry! K
I am well aware of my lack of experience in almost every type of hunting. No need to bring it up.
Shit like this is just the truth of the matter. He posted on this same subject twice before and was getting zero responses. I just gave him the goods. Don't expect to have honey holes handed to you ever, when you get them, hold them secret, and if you only have 2 posts, don't expect much of a response.
Take a walk through the newbie hunters looking for a partner thread, and you'll see the overwhelming truth. People don't give up their honey holes easily.
