Ban on permanent duck blinds and leaving decoys overnight

They will burn the lakes if this goes through.

First response. I knew it.

Meaning what?

Are you hearing this has a good chance of passing?

I wish they would do this type of regulating for yo yos and trot lines. People just leave there shite out there forever.

I feel like I need to wear a mouthpiece when running Saline and Catahoula in high water.

Would cause mass panic around here.

The only thing they are used for in Lake Bouef is opening weekend and with that many people hunting you don't need to be well covered to kill a limit of poule deau. By the second week every duck and coot around knows the exact route to take in between blinds to not get hit.

I went yesterday afternoon with my son to run my mudboat and 90% have no brush.

It's going to have some hurdles to overcome before it can be passed. Here is the letter for Bistineau.






Here is what they will have to determine:

1: What qualifies as a "duck blind". Meaning what about floating docks that are made of "manmade" wood and screw, what about docks that your can hunt from???? i know on Bistineau there are SEVERAL floating docks that could be considered "duck blinds" because they are made of "non-natural" material.
2. How are they going to regulate this?? They have a hard time keeping up with the boating traffic on the lake, much less policing the "duck blinds". If this is the case, what means are they going to take if there is a "duck blind".


Just some thoughts that i had while reading this and thinking about all the repercussions that it would have on all lake-goers.

This.

Most of the north louisiana lakes save catahoula are pretty spotty shoots now anyways. They just don't hold the birds they did 20 years ago and catahoula has all the problems with water levels. Seems like there would have to be a special set of rules for catahoula and good luck enforcing them.
