Minnesota Waterfowl Hunting

It's amazing how few duck hunters canada has.
But Canada is a pretty liberal non gun friendly country. I get its a smaller country but its got prime time hunting ground.

It's a dying sport. We're the last generation of duck hunters. Once we're dead.......in fifty years duck hunting will be a thing of the past....just like whaling. Sure, there are a handful of remote places and people who still hunt whales......but for all intensive purposes, as a "thing" for the masses.....where people know what it is and know someone who does it....friend of a friend seen once a year at a barbecue.....oldest step uncle......as far as it being a known pastime by society at large?

We're the end of the line.

Participation in the opener slumped once again. Cordts said DNR sold 61,000 duck stamps through opening weekend, down 3% from 2022's opener. It's the continuation of a decades-long slide in duck hunting in Minnesota. The state hit its peak in the early 1970s, when participation over the entire duck season amounted to about 160,000 hunters.

The less hunters we have the more crowded it seems to get imo.

I hope numbers keep going down.

Maybe you should stop going to crowded spots. That’s priority number one for me. The less dumdums around the better the hunting is.

I dont hunt crowded spots that why I drive to western mn so I can be alone. But I read enough reports online that make it seem like it's more crowded than ever at alot of areas. That is what I am basing it on.

whaling still happens, not on the scale that it used to and you need to be a specific color....but it very much still happens

Uh Yeah, that's exactly what I said???????

Australia just banned duck hunting in most of the country and I’ve heard pressure is mounting to ban or severely regulate it in Argentina (of all places… probably thanks to pile pics on social)

And yet people can still hunt waterfowl in England and Europe… with basically no rules once you jump through the hoops to become a legal gun owner / hunter

I generally agree with the great philosopher of our times, Fish Felon…. We’re the last generation and wgaf. If people don’t want to go, why should we spend bazillions trying to coerce them into thinking it’s fun?

RRR hasn’t been helpful and more hunter numbers does nothing to stop anti-hunting efforts.

We can have a million new hunters but that doesn’t meant sh1t when you have guys bear hugging a mountain lion or some dumbazz running over coyotes on a snow machine and then putting the video on the internet.

Australia is an extremely anti gun country and it is very hard to own a gun there. Would not be shocked it is gun related.
