Possession Limits for Ducks

[rick_iles]

I belong to a club that has had feeding permits since before I can remember. There are clear restrictions like the distance from any hide as well as the size of the sign that is dated and signed and how far out of the water it is. Permit describes the legal location of the property.
No you can not bait even if you live on a body of water and are inclined to feed the ducks at any point...regardless of whether you hunt or not.
I doubt the person in question has a permit to feed.

We are dealing with federal not provincial regulations.

Kinda....sorta...we always fed within yards of a Provincial Park. You must cease feeding 14 days before opening day, and all trace of bait must be gone 7 days before opening day....our pond was checked yearly by local CO's. You are right though, there are regulation to adhere to to have a permitted bait station. Unless of course there have been amendments. But we are off topic !

Ask him if you are allowed to gift more then ONE or "A" migratory bird to someone.....

Might just do it if I had the need to do it however for now as I said if I became aware of someone dumping birds for the sole purpose to go shoot some more easier to report and let them figure it out.

Not sure why they even bother with possession limits. If someone is that worried about it, they can just ditch their birds.

Glad I hunt ducks and geese in farm country natural bait as far as the eye can see, in one place your sometimes worried that the Geese might attack by the thousands.

Think thats the point of this discussion. Its not about giving a bird here and there to one who may not have the means but the one who dispenses his allotted bag in order to kill some more which to me is a kin to one who would ditch their birds.

Well based on what you have said, you can only give or gift ONE bird to someone else. But you can throw your whole limit in the ditch.

Not exactly but I'll try to spell it out for you.
For me giving a bird to someone for their benefit its not a problem.
Dispensing with a limit of birds for the selfish reason of killing more is the same as a poacher dumping birds which obviously I'm not okay with.

It still comes down to the fact that a limit of birds can be given to another person. You may not choose to do so.....I understand but there is no regulation prohibiting that.
There are numerous regulations not printed in the summary for example, Retriever Clubs can hold up to 200 legally taken birds each year for the purposes of training/trialing.
Birds can be gifted.

You are right there may not be a rule that's where personal responsibility come in. Sure if it becomes a serious problem they will make a rule and there no doubt be ones saying can't believe all the rule governing our actions.
