Taking Others Hunting is Part of Conservation

Being able to watch these hunters get excited and take ducks was more fun for me than taking a limit for myself. The guide service gets many first-time duck hunters, as well as hunters who have only been marginally successful. We also get hunters who have hunted ducks often. I enjoy spending time with them, sharing the resource and explaining why duck hunting is more than just about shooting ducks.

One of My Favorite Youth Hunts

One of my favorite youth hunts I participated in was with an 11-year-old young lady named Isabel, her brother Mitchell, who was 12, and their mom. Dad didn’t hunt. I took them out twice in 2017.

My partners and I have some landowners we were trapping for who were having problems with beavers flooding much of their hunting lands. When they asked us to trap beavers, we agreed and bought some Conibear traps. We learned that trapping beavers was a lot of hard work. You have to break the dam, which takes about three hours, set the trap and catch the beaver. But then those beavers left will return and have
