Regulatory change at a NWF

From the 2014-2015 Brochure

All Limited Draw
Hunt perticipants must launch from and return to the
USFWS boat ramp.

Looks like the old paying boat ramp is no longer allowed on the weekends. Kind of made me laugh a little, so I thought I would share. What has been going on in the past is people using that private ramp to allow a permit holder to "shuttle" multiple groups into the woods. Each group that returned with the permit holder was legal in and of themselves, just not all together. I've never seen a game warden out there, but having a single ingress/egress point makes it somewhat enforceable.

I think it needs to be the same during the week as well. There are tons of people that sneak in from the backside and are sitting in the holes wayyyy before legal time. When you pass through a spot at 4:10 and there are already 5 dozen dekes and 10 mojos out, something is bad wrong. It should be mandantory that everyone launch from the main ramp. JMO
