Nice, of the 4 stocked wma's I live within a 1/2 hours drive, all will see a big REDUCTION of birds over the next three seasons, yep this years stamp will be my last, can't see paying 40 dollars for FEWER birds at wma's nearest me.

It's always fun watching the dogs work.

Seems like a week later this year.  Maybe that's the way to make it seem less impactful.  I know that youth hunt has been one of the last Saturdays in October before.  Even that seems late.

It never ceases to amaze me how guys will bitch about the price of a fishing license or trout stamp or the price of hunting licenses and stamps yet they will think nothing of dropping $40 or more at the bar buying a round of drinks !

In this case $40 dollars buys a lot of time to be afield bird hunting;  6 weeks with 15 stockings and is much cheaper and a lot more fun.

But what do I know, I'm old, tired and pee a lot and don't go to bars anymore !

Looking forward to it.  $40 doesn't bother me considering the amount of time I spend in the field with my dogs, family, and friends.  It's a drop in the bucket compared to all of the money that I spend on hunting throughout the year.

Well i dont drink in bars and waste money, what i am not a fan of is reditribution. Obama has done enough of that i dont think we need f&g doing it too. If you read the allocation reasoning one of which they try to sell you is safety, if that was the case why would assupink get more birds and clinton get less? Seems a lot more incidences at assupink than clinton...no? From what i understand assupink gets hit pretty hard and is crowded, stocking more birds there only seems to reason that more hunters will flock to it...no pun intended LOL

 I'm  just glad they finally are moving the birds south. Can't wait for this season to start.

There will be LESS birds where I hunt, that means I'm paying the same money for LESS, seems straight forward to me. With less birds put out chances are better they get shot out, I only get one day a week to hunt, Monday's with LESS birds there will be was LESS holding over, and simply put, the dog can't find what's not there.

My son and I put a couple in the game bag Saturday. The dog worked well for the first time of the season.
