    Why isn't there a law for how far you have to be from another hunter?

    Because we sometimes like to hunt together. It's more fun like that.

    Is that how far the docks are spread apart?

    200yds is still too close, try again.

    Because game wardens do not have the time to get into a he said / he said argument between two boats with guys that identify as duck hunters.

    Exactly what Rubberhead said.

    And Nooooooooobody wants that blind spacing, private blinds in a public marsh crap they got going on north of us.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    If some "duck hunters" can't figure out how far away a duck is to shoot or not shoot, do you really think they can figure out 200 yards(or what really should be further) to setup away from another group?

    This is the DAMN truth. Several counties have "Safe Hunter" laws in place. I have no problem with a landowner getting to hunt his property, but locking the public water with a "blind" is BS.

    You set up within 200 yds of me and you'll know real damn quick like you're too damn close. For the life of me I can't fathom the thought of pulling up within 200 yds of another group, that arrived earlier than me, and have the nerve to set up and try and hunt.

    I'm not sure that I can offer much into the reason as to why no law exist. However I would like to propose a distance.

    But then I'm from r-kansas so it's probably not unexpected.

    Illinois has a 200 yard law. Most days I'd love to be 100 yards away from the guys who set up from me. It's nearly impossible to enforce unless witnessed by the GW.

    Sit close to me and there's s good chance you are going to get your feelings hurt. Might as well watch from a distance.

    As a good distance marker, I myself like to keep a bunch of 10oz egg weights in the blind/boat to throw at whoever is too close to me. Works pretty well actually, you'd be surprised.
