Bog proposals

[kwackkillncrew]

I have been listening to their meetings and seems like they are really trying to make it difficult to hunt/trap in general. Luckily a couple of the members seem to feel for hunters and trappers and want it to stay around. Haven't heard them talk about ducks at all which is a little suprising. They also want to make a sub committee "wild life committee" with a few of the members of the kach bay state park ac. It would be nice if a hunter/trapper who lived in the area was on that board. They had a guy from adfg who had alot of good things to say about the hunters in the area. Being from eagle river I am not sure some one up here would have a chance.

Looked at the proposal book. They got a different lady putting in the proposals then the normal one. any ways
1. daily limit of 4 goldeneyes (instead of 8)
2. daily limit of 4 buffleheads a day (instead of 8)
3. mandatory sea duck reporting, which i can totally get behind since there is not much research that is going on.
4. harli/old squaw limit to 1 per day instead of 2.

the homer fish and game advisory committee has backed all of these proposals.

That’s disappointing to hear this is getting backed

Many years ago, forgot her name. She put a ton of proposals regarding the K-bay and more in fact regarding the bay she lives in.
She was trying to get it banned from her bay and reduced to the point in K-bay where it will be not worth hunting anymore.
She failed to get her bay privatized but got the harlequin quota reduced. There was a bird group also, that joined in. I went to the board meeting and had a good argument with her and the board. Plan and simple. Throw much stuff at the wall and pray to see what will stick is what I gathered.

Looked like a change to oldsquaw limit but nothing else passed did I read that correctly.

Where is it posted? So old squaw went to 1 a day?

following this thread with out any knowledge of kbay but it seems strange to me that the old squaw limit has been reduced. I have noticed in the last couple of years that the number of long tails around here in SE seems to be growing. Maybe it’s a timing thing. They start showing up here in November and don’t leave until after the herring spawn in April.

I had a nice dinner with one of the board members when he was in town last week for the meeting. I didn’t discuss the oldsquaw proposal specifically but did ask about the feelings on these proposals. They didn’t seem interested in making a safe place for ducks.
