We hunt of public goose pits after the hunter are gone at basically at 2pm. We both gun and bowhunt the area. We gun hunt out of the pits and bow hunt the surrounding area. I know of a gentleman and his mentally challenged son that gun hunt out of these pits as well. My brother and I checked with the site manager and he said that it was prefectly legal for this for it is designated as a firearm area and as long as we are not hunting waterfowl after hours, there will be no problems as long as we don't enter the adjoining refuge.
Pretty nice to have a comfy chair and when its cold or rainy out, a propane heater to boot makes a long cold day real nice!!!!!
