I just did yesterday.
It wasn't like the birds are hard enough to convince to committ this time of year without this asshole blowing 3 groups that we may had a chance at. Sucks for him though, we have a good idea where he landed on some private property and the game warden is not a happy guy after hearing about it. He said he will be talking to the police helicopter and checking with the airport authority.
per the FAA:
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft below the following altitudes:
(a) Anywhere. An altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface.
(b) Over congested areas. Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft.
(c) Over other than congested areas. An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.
(d) Helicopters. Helicopters may be operated at less than the minimums prescribed in paragraph (b) or (c) of this section if the operation is conducted without hazard to persons or property on the surface. In addition, each person operating a helicopter shall comply with any routes or altitudes specifically prescribed for helicopters by the Administrator.

You did the right thing, but dammit man, bet it was tempting not to put a few loads of steel into the fuselage of said plane.

All the strip clubs.
Why do you think they hold so many expos there?

Nothin like going to the pink pony and getting T-bone steak on a paper plate for 5 bucks and looking at someone's butthole while you eat it.

Sucked. My guys only killed 1,100 or so.
Deltaman wrote:Nuff, if you had any idea how few ducks we get on the AL coast, how hard we have to hunt to kill'em, and the legions of new duck commanders that have joined the ranks in the last 2 years, you would have a much better understanding. Our resource isn't getting any bigger, but our user group has exploded. I actually had a fair season, but worked my fanny off through the end, sometimes until sunset. Didn't post much about it because it pales in comparison to most of the hunts that get posted on here, and seemed like every time I started to post a hunt, had problems with Photobucket (the picture hosting site I use). 90% of the ducks we get here are Gadwalls, and they learn real fast, rafting up in the open waters of the bay, and coming in at dark to feed. The only decent days to hunt with bird movement in our delta are caused buy a strong South wind, as that is what it takes to get them off the open water. A strong North wind just pushes them to the head of the open waters of the bay, very frustrating. Been hunting ducks here since I was a tike, will be 58 this year, and the changes over the past few years are humbling. There is no daylight flight to speak of any more, very depressing. Almost all private land is leased out to deer hunters, and most of them do not appreciate the hunting of ducks during deer season. There are exceptions, but very few. I hunted almost every Saturday and Sunday, as well as a few vacation days and most holidays, and killed more than most, but nothing compared to some of the hunts by you, leg band, Rick, etc........ I only had 5 limit hunts, and two of them were in LA. Most hunts averaged between 4-8 ducks, and again mostly Gadwalls. I was able to kill a few Mottles, and could've killed a lot more (found'em packed in a few marsh holes), but with a limit of 1 ea, kinda frustrating. Mix in a few teal, spoonies and bluebills, and there you have it. We will kill an occasional Mallard, Pintail, Red head or Canvasback, but they are like the hyperactive kid that gets a gold star in 3rd grade......... rare! No matter, I'll chase'm as long as I can..........love dat chit!
