Mud motors

[ceddy]

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

We had enough sense to ban airboats ……

No way to make them quieter where a muffler change on a mm makes a huge difference

Yep it’s the boat….

Huge difference? Come on Bo….

If there was a Perimeter ditch around your entire club in Arkansas, would you let me run a mudmotor in it with the muffler of your choice?

Have you put in at Packs, 601, Low Falls, etc. recently? How many have changed their muffler to a quieter one?

What’s the trend nowadays? Louder, bigger, bored out, bigger exhaust.

I know you know the two lakes like the back of your hand, but surely you aren’t that ignorant to say that quieter muffler changes are becoming the trend.

I think he’s saying you can’t make an air boat quieter but you can make a mud boat quieter. Never got anything from this stating it’s a trend?

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

Arkansas found you can't regulate stock exhaust and are looking to ban them on WMAs again. I think the state should ban them. In the hands of the right people, they are a great tool. However, there are a lot more people who abuse their power and destroy habitat and send waterfowl elsewhere. It's only a partial solution to the problem but a step in the right direction. I did just fine this season without one, just required more walking. Most waterways in SC do not need a mud motor to be successful and by eliminating them would allow waterfowl areas to rest on public ground.

Ducks aren’t going to rest on public because people won’t allow it. That’s a fact. Ban mm ain’t fixing shit and banning 3” shells ain’t stopping skybusting.

[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.

That was aimed at Bog about airboats. And yes most these days want louder bigger bored out and faster

With the right muffler it’s no different than a 4 wheeler.

Back in the 70's, 80's and even the first half of the 90's, you didn't see most ducks jumping several hundred yards away due to an outboard going by. You could still finish ducks with an outboard idling by at 300 yards. Now, even if it's a half mile away and the mud motor is at the landing, you can give up on working ducks. You see ducks jumping on the far side of a lake if a mm is running. I've often seen mallards jumping out the timber from a mm just running up a river. Outboards rarely cause that. All my hunting is on public land so it may be different on private.

[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.

[baydog]

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.

[cajunwannabe]

Why aren't 4 wheelers allowed on State and Federal lands in SC for deer and turkey hunting? What would be the impact on public deer and turkey hunting be if 4 wheelers were allowed 24/7?

What invention since 2003 has given public duck hunters the ease of operation of an outboard and the access to remote areas in the marsh similar to an airboat?

This is dumb ass shit! When does it stop? I'm no fan but to each his own!
