Yeah, I've got all those printed out, I am going to go and check out some of those areas, closest one to me is Farmington Bay.. about 1 1/2 hour away or so.. I just need familiarize myself with the northern hunting areas.I am up north, so I don't know much about down in Utah county. However the dwr has a list of wma's, along with interactive maps of them. Check out the ones near you here, about halfway down the page.

Best Advice I can give you is Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.Well, last year was my first year hunting..needless to say, I'm addicted. With waterfowl season coming up i'm itchin to go again.. can't wait!
So I guess I'm a foot soldier, no boat.. YET! But I got a big ol bag to haul a dozen duck decoys around. I went to BRBR once last year and had a good time but I'm in Lehi. I hunted on my own a lot last year due to a flaky buddy, so I decided to try to teach myself and go to Utah Lake, specifically Powell Slough, it was hit and miss down there and pretty frustrating at times. I started to get frustrated with all the walking, getting stuck in the mud, setting out decoys, in hopes of getting a few ducks to lock up on me. I did get a couple ducks each time I went, but I am looking to branch out, and I am wanting to have a few hunts where I reach my bag limit for the day.
Anyway, I plan on scouting out Farmington Bay, BRBR, and those Northern areas so I can get to know them a little better. But as mentioned, I live in Lehi.. for the days where I can't drive 2 hours North or if I want to do a quick morning/evening hunt before/after work does anybody have any good advice for the Utah Lake area while on foot? Is the north side or the west side any good?
I don't expect anybody to give up any of their secret spots, so I'm not even going to ask.. I know it takes a lot of time and effort. What I am asking, is a point in the right direction in the Utah County area. I just need some help/advice from the more experienced waterfowlers out there.
I appreciate the help.
Looks like I'm gonna have to stick it to the man and take some days off. Haha. Thank you.Best Advice I can give you is Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
