Word to the wise - to do EVER ask Nershi for advice regarding the waterfowl regs or laws...

This is why I only hunt with a select few that know when they kill something. Hate that one guy that always hits every bird dropped no matter where it was.

Why ducks. It's literally the dumbest law on the books when it comes to waterfowl hunting. The guy with a dog inevitably ends up with the "pile". What difference does it make if you end up with a limit. When a flock come right into the kill hole and 3 guys open's up there is no way to say with 100% certainly who shot what. No way.
If a warder harassed me for an hour I would just F it give me a ticket so I can get on with my day.

but we wonder why so many people are leaving the sport of waterfowl hunting. you need a law degree for every spin on the waterfowl laws. then you have butthurt CO's that want to prosecute instead of educate. The couple times ive met the Co's in the field has been pleasant. It was my 2nd year turkey hunting and I had 2 shot in. long story short he told me any shot under 4 shot can kill someone if you mistake them for a turkey. i jsut kept my mouth shut but wanted to show him my hunter safety card. he gave me a warning.

Yep, it is a federal law and he even stated it is not really enforced in Minnesota. I wasn't the only one he harassed that weekend. I asked the guys camped at pool 3 if they had been checked. " oh yeah, biggest ahole we have ever seen" There were 4 of them and they had 3 coolers. He accused them of having a fourth one stashed somewhere even though they were no where close to a possession limit. He searched all over the woods and vehicles for the missing cooler. Kept asking where they were hiding it. He didn't mention anything about who shot what or tagging birds.
There is a much longer version of the story, maybe over a beer sometime.
