Hullett Marsh

[FOH]

FOH, I don't want to quote your complete message so please bear with me.

The corn being dumped was awhile ago, at the time the two individuals seemed surprised and embarrassed to learn it was illegal as far as the waterfowl goes.
I did a follow-up, and did receive an exceptional response.
As for reporting illegal activities, or behavior not permitted by the rules of Hullett, I do so .

I do agree some are not properly informed of the rules. There no blame on you for that.

As for the Neighbors, I hope you continue to enjoy good relationships. Some of the neighbors that made comments are not physically next to the Hullett Property. If that means anything.

The two person per pin does make it hard for a person to take out New or hunter with little experience. I therefore normally would use Zone B. But with low water levels, I stopped taking people to hullett.

Last Friday I scouted the greenwing pond and surrounding area on my way home. Yes a long day. Found water levels to be rising. I hope you will be allowing the pond level to be higher in years to come, but that is your Decision.

I did locate a pond that held a good number of geese, and did hunt it Saturday with three other people.

Well it was within Hullett, it is not a pond you actively manage. It also required me to drop gear and the others off and then park and walk about an hour to where we were setting up. When we did leave I had to do the whole in reverse. Walk to the parking lot, and then drive back to reload people and gear..

I liked the spot( pond ), and enjoyed the hunt.

I also hope you can keep your raccoon numbers down. They are hard on the birds, by birds I mean all the birds.

With regards to the management of water levels, FOH does not decide any of this. These decisions are made by Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) biologists. They will then contract FOH or other contractors to change the board settings either up or down. The Greenwing dyke repair was made by local heavy equipment contractors who worked under DUC guidance.

DUC is a senior partner in the management of HPWA wetlands.

Hopefully hunters will harvest raccoons as FOH does not have the resources or ability with only 2 staff.
