The recent purchase of high quality binoculars and a spotting scope by the Butte County Fish and Game Commission helped with the arrest of three local men and one from San Jose.
Citations were handed out to Todd Gregory Owen, 48 and Cody Lee Owen, 21, both of Biggs; Clint Matthew Owen, 24, of Richvale; and Jeffrey Delte, 24, of San Jose January 21, 2012.
"No one welcomed the recent storms more than California's 70,000 waterfowl hunters. Rain and wind in California's central valley has salvaged what was an extremely slow hunting season for waterfowl. All of the central valley wildlife areas and national wildlife refuges with hunt programs reported increased hunter success averages that weekend," according to a press release of the Department of Fish and Game.
The four men stepped way out of bounds by shooting a total of 108 ducks in two days.
California regulations provide for a duck hunting limit of seven ducks per day, with 14 in possession if taken over two or more days. All together, the four men were over the limit with 52 ducks, with additional individual species violations. For the full story, please pick up a copy of the 2/1/12 edition of The Gridley Herald.
