Did any of you guys get to attend the waterfowl meeting in Swanton about the adjustment of the lake/interior zone boundaries? Did the boundary get adjusted?

I didn't make it either, John. I didn't even know about it, but then I'm just about retired from duck hunting so I don't have my ear to the ground for that kind of news.
 
I received an e-mail from Crenshaw today. It looks like the meeting was cancelled. They've re-scheduled it for May 3rd.

If you e-mail Bill, I'm sure he'll send you the meeting announcement.
 
My hunting partner sent an e-mail to Bill about the meeting. Here is Bill's reply:


The meeting was attended by about 30 hunters. As expected, there were a good number of Missisquoi hunters there. Only a few late-season diving duck hunters attended. There were also a few Interior Zone hunters at the hearing.
Basically, only about ½ of the Missisquoi hunters spoke in favor of the proposal, and some of them conditioned their approval on getting a split season in the Interior zone. Since 80% of the Interior Zone hunters want a straight season, that is not likely to happen.
I know that this proposal has close to unanimous support from the late season diving duck hunters, but it doesn’t seem to be as well received by the Missisquoi hunters.
