Who got drawn?

Year 3 for me and pa with no go. Seems to par for the course. I am excited to see how the improvements this year will affect numbers in the coming years.

[TripleTail]

Year 3 for my father and I as well and it is a no go for us. Used to get picked every 2nd or 3rd year, but has been the 4th year it seems the last few times. Hopefully will happen for us next year because it gets harder and harder for him to get out as every year goes by. Looks like mostly wood ducks in the swamp and q beam wars in the river for us this year.

Last day of season at Springfield. 3 points.

Year 3 for my group and unsuccessful draw. Complete BS!!!! Used to get to hunt every other year. Then went to every 3rd year. I guess now we will get to hunt once every 4th year. its ridicules. There is so much more we could be doing with these Cat 1 areas. Just SAD!!! Don't get me started on the lack of management in the Cat 2 waterfowl areas. The whole system is a joke!!!!

It's all the guys that are decked out in Sitka "gear" to shoot wood ducks that are making your wait longer...Sitting here in the midwest and just got a push of birds the last few days. Looking forward to tomorrow morning. I do NOT miss SC hunting. Drove 35 minutes this am to check a spot and was the farthest I've driven yet to look for ducks. Most mornings average 5.8 miles to shoot ducks. Life is good. Really makes me realize how bad SC is.

Really sounds like you could use a few more members on your hunting excursions.

Yes sir you are correct. Just get on the internet and apply. Show up an shoot at ducks. No hunting required!!!! I have been hunting here for 35 years and it hurts me to see what it has become!!

Hmm. Let's break this down.
SC is not a waterfowl destination. It actually takes a great deal of work to attract ducks. Many of the Cat Is are historically significant areas (for SC). We can certainly argue the relative merits of each locations manager. Some are better than others. Such is life. But to say "I hate what it has become" sure does strike me as odd. SC duck hunting? Or SC duck hunters? You realize some of these people have no other decent options. I think what you need to be working for is private landowners but I bet you wouldnt understand....

So, continue bitching or dont sign up. Its that simple.

You ever been to a FF workday?

[WHITEWING]

2th you do understand that the Atlantic flyway was very highly regarded in duck hunting lore! Look I’m not going to get in a pissing contest with you. Santee coastal reserve was and still is a beautiful place that attracts a lot of ducks. Bottom line is I love it and I want to be able to spend more time their. If you are a duck hunter you should love it too and want to spend more time their!

Dang... that hunt should have some real potential.. Last hunt. We got drawn for the same day many moons ago. 4 in our party. Two guys shot limits of GWTeal early and then watched us pick and choose off the menu for the stuff we came for. I also killed a Greater Snow and an Eagle head that morning. Fog was thick and the birds were feet down. Fond memory. My Black is sitting on the mantle as I write this .

We saw more Pintails that morning than you would believe.

What's up with the private land partnership hunts? People were supposed to get out in a drawing for them too. Anybody heard if they have drawn for those yet?

[Palmetto Bug]

No love for me this year, 3 point going into next year.

The private land partnership thing is supposed to be for folks that didn't get drawn on the regular lottery. Maybe they'll do it now.
