Attn. UW-F Regional Directors (including new ones for 2006)

[N. Cook]

We want to get the Spring Newsletter out as soon as possible after season. Please consider what you are going to put together for a "Regional Report" to be ready right after season. We would like to have them in by Feb. 15. (e-mail to me) With multiple Regional Directors in each Region we are able to edit the comments and make a good composite for the Newsletter.

Do not worry about form or grammar,,,,,content is what is important:.....what was good or bad about the season, the different spots...good, average or bad...any issues that need to be addressed before next year, and your personal "best" story.

We have to edit it all anyway, don't be bashful, the more we have to work with the better the Newsletter will be....and it is YOUR Newsletter....

Thanks for the help.

seen some ducks out at lake jessup had a few hunts with a couple fo ducks mostly teal saw some wood ducks brought to the ramps. most memorable hunt drove down to sta 5 my 16 year old matt and i were talking to dark wing duck and billy about where to hunt they set us up in a great spot duck hunting the first day of the new year a the crown jewel sta 5.the fog set in real heavy legal shooting time had passed without a shot fired. a while later matt shot his first mottled then i got one. matt was saying some white duck was flying around wanting to land in the decoys i told him only shoot if he was sure it wasnt a mottled duck. the fog was so thick the birds seemed to zip in from no where matt shot and dropped his first widgeon what a happy kid. nothing else mattered two first one day at the sta ill keep driving down as long as he wants to hunt. the following week my older boy trey and matt tag teamed a nice pintail. merrit island held quite a few pintails with a hunderd or so working don elliots decoy spread when he invited trey to hunt with him one morning.
