Wonder I searched it and it was a popular term on a couple arkansas related forums as well as some other mississippi corridor state's forums going back about as far as is still searchable. But sorry, it is obvious some guys from Arkansas would be the ones to take credit for bringing it to the internet long before you. Or would you originally be from Arkansas by chance? Never said I took credit for it .........I said I made it famous...... as is any of the verbage used by the World Famous Wonder Hisself. The Wonder, enlightening the world one Topwater at a time.

8. Clean up after yourself. Pick up your trash including empty hulls and leave the spot cleaner than when you got there. Public property belongs to all of us some be a conservationist. Besides, if you had a good hunt and you leave a lot of shells you just give away your spot to the next guy that comes by scouting.

Took my kid and his buddy out scouting this past weekend, all they talked about was all the trash on the ground. Beer cans, broken bottles, fishing bait containers, fishing line, etc... Real sad. Never understood the donuts that shoot public signes with buck shot either..

...........Seent this on another forum and thought I'd post it here for all you public huntin topwaters.
Memorize these rules. There will be a test.
"In many respects, hunter etiquette can make or break the quality of shooting on public areas. If all hunters would observe the following rules, ducks would work in tighter, shots would be closer, and the pleasures of this sport would be more widely shared by all. Everything you learned in kindergarten about getting along with others applies in the duck blind, too. 1. Don’t encroach on someone else’s spot. If they got there first, go find another hole.
2. Quit calling when ducks are working another hunter’s spread. If he has their attention, let him have them.
3. Don’t be a sky-buster. Avoid taking shots that are at marginal range. Sky-busting is unsporting, and it results in too many cripples that aren’t recovered.
4. Don’t block boat ramps or parking areas any longer than necessary. Be ready to launch with all your gear loaded in, plug installed and straps undone when it’s your turn to launch.
5. Be respectful of hunters in boats with less horsepower than you have. When passing another boat, ease around it with as little wake as possible. Don’t shine a spotlight in another boat driver’s eyes.
6. Don’t violate a friend’s trust. If he takes you to a secret spot on a public area, don’t go back there without his knowledge or permission. And never take others there.
7. Remember that the Golden Rule certainly applies to hunting on public areas. In all regards, treat others as you would like to be treated. Such respectful behavior will translate into better hunting and greater pleasures for all who must share an area."
Well said. I really hope this is something everyone pays attention to, specially if you have kids with you PLEASE Try to set a good example for the young'nes.
