How much have things changed?

[rbduck]

Feeling a little nastalgia. I was born and raised in Richmond (68 yrs old now) during the 50/60s. Lived on the corner of #1 and Williams Rd. Back then Dad and I used to walk (four blocks) or drive to the end of Williams Rd, hop over the dike, and start duck hunting without any issues. If walking (cased shotguns and an ammo bag, never decoys), neighbours would wish us luck (no one ever thought anything about someone walking down the road with a shotgun in hand). We did quite well actually.

Back then, it was petty well open fields between #1 and Williams all the way to Steveston, with some good Pheasant hunting also.

Anyways, I assume this is a big no-no these days. So, is this still legal these days and how much have things changed?
