Tule Lake and Lower Klamath 2023-24 Waterfowl Season - Hunter Access Continues to Diminish

At Tule Lake refuge for 2023-24 Waterfowl Season no reserved blinds, free roam field unit hunting only, no field Disabled/MI blinds as provided in the past, no drive in allowed to set up deeks, no hunting at Klamath Basin, etc.. looks like Ducks Unlimited and California Waterfowl Association monies and projects not be helping waterfowl hunters at all.. may be actually hurting..
Two years ago hunting on the Eastern side of the League of Nations Field unit was permanently closed to hunting which greatly reduced non spaced blind field unit hunting access. It appears that current Tule Lake and Lower Klamath Refuge Management have put hunting access at the rock bottom of the priority list. No wonder the town of Tule Lake is almost a ghost town.
