Without any context, the post from RWP doesn't make any sense. I will never understand guides claiming ownership of public lands and the birds that call it home.

Here's a story. There is a nice wooded park by my house. I am cold this winter so I go there to cut down some trees. It's public and I am a citizen so it's my right and I will take my fair share. After a while I start selling firewood from this park. I make a few equipment investments and I am making a good living in the firewood business. Then I still get upset when someone else starts cutting down MY trees on MY spots. If it was an unlimited resource and money was not involved, there wouldn't be a problem

You can kill 23 birds a day in MA. How much longer will that last? When will the trees be gone?

Professional staff or Promotional staff Thus everytime you promote your service, you do more to draw additioanl hunters to the area. Your own success will hasten the drop in everyones bag. One more person posting pictures will not be the demise of sea duck hunting in the northeast. There is nothing in those pictures that gives away locations anymore than the last sea duck hunting article which appeared in the New England Game & Fish.

I would not claim any spots on the Atlantic Ocean as "your" backyard. Any hunter with a proper license can hunt a public body of water. Because you make your living from a publicly owned asset, does not give you any special rights to it. I also find characterizing certain hunting spots as ones you have "developed" strange. It not like 100 yards off a jetty in some bay is in any way similiar to a plot of ground that has be planted and later flooded to benefit waterfowl hunting. Basically, you found a good spot to kill birds, however "developing a spot" implies positively impacting the habitat.

Disclaimer: I have spoke to Pitboss on the phone before, but i am not in anyone's "posse".
