Question: This is my first year waterfowl hunting and while I am a pretty decent shot when I can get the birds to come in, I am a terrible caller! I can't seem to get them to respond. I've found some electronic callers online that look pretty good and don't cost too much money. I'd like to try them, but since everyone I've hunted with this year uses only the traditional calls, I wonder if these electronic calls are just new or if they might not be legal to use. What's the answer?

Question: We own a duck club with two ponds on the property. Members shoot waterfowl over one pond while the other has a floating corn feeder for wood ducks on it. We want to keep shooting over the club pond, but we also want to keep the feeding station on the other pond for the wood ducks. Regulations say baiting for migratory birds is prohibited and that it is illegal to hunt over bait. What is the distance required between the feeding station and our shooting pond before feeding is considered baiting?
