Mud motors

[tman]

..... a 30 and 3 season ending Jan. 15th would do wonders for duck hunting not only in SC but in the whole country.

Lol maybe the eastern half of the country. But I don't think you're gonna convince the western half to drop to 30 and 3.

I spent a lot of time out there over the winter and most hunters and all the biologists want a shorter season and reduced limits.

If the bag limit is 6, ya gotta keep going further

This definitely is not a fact for California! There's a hot debate out here right now about cutting just five days off the season to give more of a rest before the youth hunts and people want blood at just the thought of losing five days!

What if everything outside the channel was a no wake zone
2 weeks before to 2 weeks after duck season?

Nobody pays attention to no wake zones. During duck season or not.

While we’re at it, let’s ban bright ass headlights on our roads. My night vision went to hell a few years ago but those lights are a nuisance and dangerous. I get an overwhelming urge to practice my marksmanship skills when driving at night. As for the mud motors, we need to bring back spanking children and teaching them respect. As for the adults with no respect , a good ass whooping at the ramp should curb some of it. I like the idea of anything outside of the main channel or big water being a no wake zone and that’s the ONLY government “help” with the problem that is needed. From an enforcement standpoint (and yes I’m qualified to speak on that subject) a no wake zone is easy enough to enforce if witnessed by an officer. Banning a “tool” that many have because a few misuse it is way too close to mirroring another agenda that wants to ban “tools” that many of us have and use responsibly. Now get off my lawn.

Windshield tint will help with the bright headlights.

Also they tried the ass whippin on a guy out here this year and got arrested for it. Kid deserved it too.

The only people out here fighting this are selfish assholes that don’t care if they see the population hit zero as long as they get theirs. A lot of discussions are still going strong about moving towards this.

That is correct. Several places I hunt supposedly stopped the boat race but we still ran every morning I hunted. Started right at the no wake signs.No wake without policing will never work and there aren’t enough wardens to enforce that. Anything other than a ban is just like a “25” at the bayou. There are plenty of worked 40s that don’t get questioned with 25 stickers. With the exhaust ban I saw just as many bored 2 stroked and voodoo mud motors as any year prior.

You’re an idiot if you argue that 4strokes are as detrimental as mud motors.

Don’t ban them, this is America, a man should be able to own whatever motor he wants. Ban loud exhaust, muffler mods and set a decimal limit on all motors used while hunting waterfowl.

[duckmeat]

might as well ban 4x4 trucks, makes it too easy to get said boats to remote areas........i for one am tired of restrictions. kill them all stomp the eggs

[BugBuster]

Mud motors or aftermarket mud motor mufflers?

[codeman216]

No to banning mud motors. Decibel limit would be a great idea. Maybe a ban of aftermarket mufflers or muffler mods. I completely agree they are loud and add disturbance to birds but people need to be grown up and responsible. There are laws on the books regarding rallying waterfowl. How about that be enforced on anyone riding through groups of birds while “scouting”?

They are gasoline engines.


Why can't the factory make mudmotors quiet?

Drilled exhaust on a 2 smoke is no where near as loud as a mud motor. I agree they are a problem. Was crappie fishing Sunday and here comes one by on lake standing up while driving thinking he's hot shit in daddy's money's boat. I think they should all have a muffler that is quiet. Or atleast as quiet at a stock fourwheeler exhaust

[Palmetto Duck]

Don’t allow mud motors two weeks prior and during duck season. Other types of fishing are not allowed during certain seasons. Certain methods or baits are not allowed on some waters. Seems simple enough. All this muffler shit isn’t really enforceable.

[raybird]

y’all worried about mud motors?

i’d be more concerned with the corn pond dorks that are paying for farm raised ducks.
Tamie’s have and are ruining the resources.

DT,

You are welcome to ride with me up to the 601 sandbar this spring/summer and do some “field research” if you want to!

[2thDoc]

i just read three pages of people bitching about stuff and all you really needed to do was send DT and email and *poof* everything is fixed.

sounds like we just need to ban people.
