Re: Okanagan goose, waterfowling??
Hi
I am a beginner waterfowler and have been hunting about three years. I am still as green as grass.
Waterfowling with out a dog is not impossioble but I feel is unethical because the dogs will get onto a cripple for you where as by the time you are out of the blind and running in waiters that bird is gone, hiding and suffering. If you ar ehunting over water that is bigger than 25 metres even with a dog you need some form of water craft. You may need to resscue your dog.
My advice is to find someone who is already waterfowling successfully in your area and see if they will mentor you.
There are several on this site and all of them are willing to take on a sincere rookie.
Every day in the bush is a day you get back from the Reaper!
