It surely couldn't be that strict, as there would be no way to enforce it. I would think you would be allowed to move to various spots, but I think stalking would be sneaking along trying to stay completely hidden to the point of where you could be shot by someone thinking you're a bird. I'm sure Oldtimr will let us know the exact meaning.

Here in WA state, the spring season is 04/15 - 05/31. Hunting hours are a half-hour before sunrise to sunset. Bearded birds only with a limit of three per year. Archery, crossbow, or 10ga or smaller shotgun limited to 3 shots; #4 or smaller shot.

Colorado season is April 9- May 22 hunting hrs. are from 30 min. before sunrise to 30 min. after sunset. One bearded turkey unless you have a limited tag also then you can get a bird in your limited area and one in an unlimited area, with the two tags.

MO half hour before sunrise to 1PM
In the past 2 or 3 youth seasons they have been able to hunt from one half hour before sunrise to sunset. I hope they are testing these hunting hours with the youth hunt to see what difference it makes on the harvest.
I would love to be able to hunt all day.

Do you notice the same performance as lead, better than lead or worse than lead?

Cal, I have been using Bismuth shot for waterfowl since it came to the US in the 80s because of the non tox requiremet. I use SXS shotguns and the barrels are not as thick as semis or pumps and Bismuth is not nearly as hard as steel but it carries the weight of lead. I am very happy with the results, most ducks and geese are dead in the air. The same as with lead. I bought it by the case so I still have some of the stuff from the Bismuth shot Co. When that is all I will be buying the stuff from Kent.

If you don't mind back order and #4 shot, Cabelas also offers Rio in 3" 1 5/8 oz. bismuth shot 10 per box at a good price point. Also, Hevi shot is offering rebates of up to $20 for shells purchased up through 06/16. Midway has an extensive listing. Have to try some of each myself.
