Hello all,
Im just going to give a brief introduction to myself. I am a college biology student going into my Junior year. Me and one of my buddies have taught ourselves how to do everything from fishing to deer hunting to bowfishing. Last year, I had my first experience with waterfowl hunting when he was picked for lottery hunt at Magee Marsh. We went into that hunt not really knowing what to expect. We ended up having a great time even though we didn't shoot anything. This year we are looking to get more in to waterfowl hunting. I have done some research trying to find places where we could go whenever during the season which helped out a little but I still have questions. We are not able to go out that much with our schedules being different, but when we have time it would be nice to know where to go.
Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated. We are in the Ravenna area and are looking for places to go within a reasonable drive. We do have 14ft aluminum boat and kayaks that we could take out if they are needed. I signed up for the LaDue lottery hunt and some others but as most of you know, the odds of being picked are slim. Can you hunt there during the season without being picked to or are there ways of obtaining a permit to hunt there?
I also found that Walborn and deer creek have waterfowl hunting zones. I think I understand the blind hunting zones where you just sign up for the day you want to go and you have that blind for a day. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
The part that i'm still a little confused about is the open waterfowl hunting rules. Can anyone send me a link to the rules about that or help me with my confusion? I might sound stupid but do people just drive around shooting at ducks and geese? Or do you just find a place to anchor or beach the boat and stay in your place?
Thanks for all the help. Both of us really appreciate it.
