Someone was telling me that you can hunt on the water this year, is this true? I usually pass shoot about 250 yards from the water and do very well, I think this is really gonna be affected with people setting up and shooting at the roost. Does anyone know if it is legal to be on the water hunting this year?????? Thanks

Don't rely on an outdoor forum to get your info - look it up directly from the DNR. You don't want to be in a position of saying "but the guys on the forum said it was ok" as the CO writes you a ticket

why the he!! would you want to hunt the roost find where they are going and hunt that. The birds need somewhere safe to live if you want them to stay around!

It's been legal for a while now, see the link above.

no hunting within 100 yds of water in NW zone and few other areas except for water caused by rain in fields. This has been going on for a while.
