Waterfowl production area

[Huntin&Fishin]

Is there a GPS chip that has Waterfowl Production Areas on it? My Lakemaster chip has Wildlife areas on it but not Waterfowl Production Areas.

[Huntin&Fishin]

Anyone? Any maps or anything?

[Eric Wettschreck]

I believe they are on PRIM maps.

You might check DeLorme, the manufacturer of the Gazeteer.

Unless they've changed PRIM, the DNR does not post the federal WPAs, but last I looked was 10 years ago and never looked back.

WPAs are not noted on the DNR recreation compass on their web site either.

There are on the prim maps.

[lanyard]

That is good.

Is there one book that has all the prim maps in it?

Also....from what I have read all WPA's require non-toxic shot...correct? This is different than WMA's......so for pheasant hunting you would need to have both available if hunting private land and WPA's?

[Eric Wettschreck]

If you are on a WPA you need non-toxic shot, period. You can not have lead shot in your possession.

This is one of the reasons I only shoot steel now. We go from spot to spot and I really don't want a ticket for having a couple shells in my pocket.

I'm with boilerguy, I just shoot steel for pheasant hunting, then I don't have to worry when I go back and forth from private land to Wildlife Mangement areas to Waterfowl Production areas. I've shot a lot of pheasants with #2 steel.
