POwer, I participated in the hunt last weekend, and after I got home I started thinking like you said. I did think it was good for the kids(birds were really active) but now I'm wondering if it will really hamper this weekend. Are you an NWTF member? If you are this is something we can bring up with the state chapter president. He meets regularly with WDFW officals on matters concerning us. Drop him a line, I'll do the smae the more people who get involved like this will help our cause.
