Banning MM's in general is as silly as no Sunday hunting.
I dont own a mudmotor. I have a big boat, and I kick out a smaller boat when the water gets too skinny for the big one.
Point is, banning mud motors to treat the symptoms of dumbassery, is as short sighted as banning high capacity magazines to stop gun violence.
You treat a symptom, but never think about a cure.
I think that the Santee Cooper system in its entirety is a major player in SC's duck world.
Those of you that continue to pull the gun debate into this argument constantly seem to miss the point.
I hear you. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
Mudmotors don't cause problems, the people operating them do.
It's a simple concept....I assure you I've got it.
My point that is missed by the masses is that we cannot regulate personal responsibility with the use of mudmotors. But we are lucky with them, as I've said, as of now mudmotors are the ONLY way to run wide open through the many protected, shallow, vegetated areas so important to ducks.
There is no other way. Because of this we have the ability to eliminate the irresponsible man's ability to harass birds and destroy habitat by simply regulating them on the lakes during the season.
Can you see my point?
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.
