Please excuse my ignorance on this, but what exactly are the regulations regarding open water gunning? Or open water refuge law and how do you determine legal distance and what if any leeway do you have if your rig is beyond that specified distance? Just inquiring for information purpose only...

Migration definitely in full swing now. Not as many Swans and Snows at the refuge and with the strong south winds I can’t help but think today or tonight will be a big push North. It’s 21c today, south winds at about 48k. If it was me I’d be flying lol.

Cackler ...I didn’t take this shot but he was seen at Middke Creek with the snows.

The birds ( Swans 3,750 and Snows 115,000) seem to have returned to Middle Creek as the numbers as of today are way up again. Was in Maryland over the weekend and there are many birds still there but very concentrated and definitely moving north. Where we were on Chesapeake bay saw few Swans...

Just wondering if anyone has seen any Tundra Swans at Long Point yet? Here in Pennsylvania at Middle Creek Wildlife Management area the Swan count yesterday afternoon was about 5,000 birds. We had 2 very cold nights and as such the impoundment was 2/3 frozen along with a few inches of frozen...

Thanks for the report Fireram ..... I frequently check the forum and call the unit to see what divers are in. I drive about 800k to get to long point and have been doing so for the past 15 seasons. Only being able to hunt 4-5 days each season I rely on the forum and unit to schedule a trip there...

I missed the vote too but please keep the site up and running. Has been a wealth of information for me through the years.

Pinchel; I would take you field gunning for geese as I'm going out Frday when geese come in but the distance might be a problem .....I'm in Pennsylvania . If you're ever down this way you are more than welcomed to hunt. Jeff.

Allan; Thanks for the information and the tip with regard to the waterproof case for your phone. I hadn't thought about that aspect but a soaked cell is quite useless. Great to hear that you recovered your equipment . I recently sold my boat in favor of something bigger as I always keep an...

Ron Allan Thankfully everyone ended up being safe after your nightmare on the bay. Any good news with the recovery efforts? What ultimately went wrong with your plan to hunt and what did you learn from the experience that might help others in the future? I am not trying to make light of your...

Where did you order from? Been thinking about buying one myself ....

Someone stole ur decoys while you went in for lunch! WTF .....crazy, just plain crazy. I have hunted 33 before but never came in without my decoys for that reason. I was hunting with hand carved divers and was just paranoid about having them swiped. Never heard of this happening till now ....I...

Thanks Dotcom, I will give them a shout.
