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.
