It was a REAL interesting experience. You'd think game and fish would limit hunter numbers, but it was open to all comers with a shotgun and a license (I was actually told attendance this year was down from last!). Wardens were there checking licenses and sent a few folks home with citations for failing to purchase a WMA permit. When they checked me I was asked if my gun was plugged? I said yes sir; both barrels! When I pulled out my license he said; don't bother, I can tell you're old enough.
