<<It's not really the gun laws affecting this. Certain types of bird populations are skyrocketing especially Snow Geese and Canada Geese. >> It's the Snow Geese. The Canadas are pretty stable. The Snows have been finding the changing agriculture along the Gulf Coast wintering grounds agrees with them. The flock used to be around 3 million and it's up to around 10 million. The high population is tearing up the Tundra nesting grounds which are slow to recover. For Spring Snow Goose season, something new, the US is allowing electronic callers, no plugs in the guns and NO limit. What I had read was that new hunters were taking up the sport at 60% fewer than before because of all the gun laws. I quit hunting 5 years ago because of all the new US laws. I don't mind following the laws but I don't want to be jailed over something I didn't know. I live in Illinois and have a Jeep Grand. The way the law is written I can't carry a cased shotgun in my Jeep. Now it's legal for me to have a cased .40 Smith and Wesson in my glove box. Gun laws.... go figure.
