LOL love it. To get my free hunting license, I had to take a “safety” course. Never shot a gun but I have my free hunting and fishing license. Won’t say how I got my safety course certification!! Doesn’t matter.When I got my moose permit, my subpermittee shot the moose which was legal. I’m glad the licenses are free here as hubby loses his very frequently and I have to go online to have them send him “another.”
We have “surf clams” or as we call them “hen clams” come ashore quite frequently after a storm. I always have plenty of them in the freezer for chowdah, clam casserole, clampuffs,or as I call them “clam frittahs” so we eat the harder to get smaller clams as steamers.

We are not so lucky here - we have to work in knee deep to waist deep water for ours. This time of year, either in a boat or with waders. We use clam rakes - lots of hard work. Ours are found in the inland bays and only from drag rakes from larger boats on the ocean side.
Fundy Bay was always one of my greatest fascinations - and the quahogs right there to dig and gill nets on posts that they tended and harvested from wagons when the tide was out.. 20’ tides are absolutely amazing.
