New Law

Ok so its proposed new law but another post got me thinking....What if the law was that hunters caught hunting within 200 yards of each other on public land would be fined. Both sets of hunters regardless of who got there first. I bet a lot the nonsense l read about on here year after year would end. Thoughts?

avoid public $50 duck hunts

People would still be stupid, but not only will the guy who got there early get their hunt ruined, they’d also get a ticket for something that wasn’t their fault.

put some miles on the boots and get way back in the thick stuff where the average hunter isn't going to put the effort into getting to and you shouldn't have to deal with many people. or set up in the easy to get to spots and start a new thread when it happens again...

As a true conservative I'm all about smaller government versus more BS laws that either aren't enforced or can't be.

Yeah, I’m not leaving to avoid a ticket when I got there first. Terrible suggestion.

We don’t need more laws. You can’t legislate common sense. People need to learn to act properly, but I’m not seeing it being this big of an issue. It happens to me almost every time I hunt public and it sucks, but we don’t need more laws in general, and we don’t need a law for this. Plus, 201 yards is just as bad as 200, but that would be legal in your scenario. I also don’t see a good way of measuring 200 yards reliably.

The last thing we need is more laws. A talking to and education is what is needed. Not a fine because I got up at 3 a.m. and got to my spot for some jack leg to roll in 5 min before LST and set up 199 yards away from me.

That new law will be a no from me.
