Having hunted for approximately 50 years now I've obviously seen a lot of changes in waterfowl hunting. It's just not the same as it was, "back in the day." My biggest observation in change is that years ago, everyone knew each other for the most part and all got along well. Now it's more of a competition and a pile picture.
I hunted Dover a lot back in the 80's and early 90's and killed a lot of ducks and geese. Drew a top pick last year, went two times, and said I wouldn't be back except to get our blind out. Public hunting, at least at that place has turned to c***.
