| WDFW Weekender Report - January 2012 Waterfowl hunters can continue to bag ducks and geese through Jan 29. Hunting rules are outlined in the Waterfowl and Upland Game pamphlet. The latest (Jan. 4, 2012) South Columbia Basin Midwinter Waterfowl Survey is available at http://wdfw.wa.gov/about/regions/region3/waterfowl_surveys.html. Hunters should be aware that additional “Feel Free to Hunt” access is now available through a annual contracts made with Columbia Basin landowners in the Corn Stubble Retention Project (CSRP), including those in the Mesa area of Franklin County. Since ducks and geese feed primarily on waste grain such as corn and wheat, the CSRP pays growers to leave corn stubble standing, rather than plowing it under, to benefit waterfowl and waterfowl hunters. These fields are all part of WDFW’s Feel Free to Hunt access program, and are available to hunters as soon as the corn harvest is completed. Details on CSRP locations are available online. |
