Sadly, in my experience this is completely false. The more ducks a guy shoots the more likely he is to ditch them. This is even more true with goose hunters and doubly true for snow goose guys.
That's sad to hear. I know a lot of guys who put up big numbers of geese who get pretty creative on how to use it all-jerky, brats, homeless shelters, etc.
Do you think removing the possession limit will allow the people who ditch birds to kill more? If they aren't shy about tossing a bag of game in a dumpster does a possession limit really do anything?
Most of the times I have found out about wasted game it has been the guys who hunts once or twice a year. They don't cook or don't know how to cook game and their wife won't so it ends up going to the trash. They don't get the invite again.
It is pretty sad, just look at how many people on here openly admit to hating the taste of waterfowl and yet they hunt them religiously. And yes I do know guys who shoot a ton that eat them all but those guys are far out numbered by the tossers. So no, removing the possession limit does nothing for these guys, to be honest I don't think very many people pay attention to the possession limit anyways, you have to do something pretty bad for the CO's to come search your freezer.
