Hi Guys, anyone know how to join the Associate Wildlife Preserve Group?
I am new to this waterfowl hunting sport (in fact, I am new to hunting in general, lol).
I went to Boundary Bay in the opening weekend (3 days) and got a Goose and a duck, and my friend got nothing. In comparison, I see Dano's group got ducks on the limit and 25 geese in just 1 day (2nd day). I know experience and skills are all factors, but hey, everyone need to start from somewhere.
By carefully observing Dano's pictures, I realized he is actually hunting in a farm field, either behind a pond for ducks, or inside lay out blinds in the fields for goose hunting.
When I was hunting in Boundary Bay, I saw a lot of other hunters. Most of them (including myself), did not hide good enough. When birds fly near, people shoot, even if it is not low enough (including me). This give me a feeling, even if I were to hide good enough, and waiting for the proper shot. However, if the people around me didn't hide good enough, and shoot when the birds lower, then the birds still will not land in my decoys. I learned how short 40 yards are in the hard way (70 shots into the sky with a painful shoulder resting now........)
When I try find farms, I realized a lot of people mention Associate Wildlife Preserve Group, they seems leased a lot of farms for hunting purpose. I am just wondering if you guys know any contact information regarding to the group so I can chat and maybe join them? I know they charges a fee, but if I can save a lot of time and actually have some actions, then it will be worth it....
My wife is OK with the money part, but she limits me to maximum 1 day a week in hunting........ For other days, I need to work, take care of the kids and cook dinner...... So I try to make the day worth it........
If I am able to take my son out (only leave my daughter to my wife), I will be allowed 2 days/week hunting.... so I tried...... I took my son (8 years old) with me on Monday, after 2-3 hours of no action, he gets bored.... So I am trying to find somewhere there maybe more action so my son can be interested in hunting..... and I can have more hunting time approved by my wife by taking my son out with me........
Life is never the same after marriage and the kids, lol...............
