Ducks and geese are federally protected...( many hunters I know, install the bands on their calls) yeah the state guy writes the tickets... i dont know why, but "get the duck!" "get the duck!" ( they are geese..), is always a newbie/spectator thing.... "we DONT chase ducks and geese"... all we can do.... .. I clear the lake with the R boat in the morning and we're usually good.... had a guy get 700 training his lab a few years back, killed one goose and wounded ( dispatched), another.... at our park.... cell phone, and eyes.... we dont chase ducks and geese......
