Cold Weather Should Be Catalyst for Increase in Water Fowl Hunting

While most people are going to be trying to find ways to stay inside for the upcoming cold weather, local natural resource officials say this could be an increase in activity for them.
 
Department of Natural Resources Conservation Police Officer John Williamson indicates the cold and snow up north will start to drive some of the water fowl down to central Illinois, giving hunters plenty of opportunity.
 
 
Williamson says most hunters don't need the reminder to dress for the weather but has come across hunters who dress for the weather but then it quickly changes and they aren't prepared for that change.
 
 
Williamson says around Clinton lake, most all water fowl hunting is done on the lake because of the warm water thanks to the Clinton Power Plant. He says a good day for water fowl on the lake will yield 20 to 30 boats with almost 30 to 40 others in fields and areas surrounding the lake.
