It was a very limited draw and only a few times during the season. There was also a shell limit. Why that stopped, I do not know.I figure it has to do with some loud mouthed tree huggers. The true mark of a man is not how he conducts himself during times of prosperity, but how he conducts himself during times of adversity.

Because a refuge by definition is "a condition of being safe or sheltered from pursuit, danger, or trouble." How does being able to hunt a "refuge" not contradict the very meaning of the word. And yes I'm saying if it's going to be hunted it should not be called refuge. Awesome...

Keep in mind that refuge and wheeler lake use to be deemed as one of the top wintering ground for Canada geese. I know at one time they talked about doing youth hunts but im pretty sure that idea lasted about as long as a faurt in a hurricane. One of the main reason you cant hunt waterfowl is politics, too many bird watchers if you know what i mean.

Population is way down, could that have been another factor in closing the Refuge? “Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it.” ― Ronald Reagan
