Lacey Act

Got checked at 2am this summer flounder gigging. Right off the rip the guy was trying to be a dick telling me my story about what fish we had wasn’t lining up. I told him to look in the cooler and see for himself. They searched the cooler, boat, safety gear, licenses, everything. Made me get out my registration to prove my boat was only 15ft and didn’t need a throwable. I left with no tickets cause I hadn’t done anything wrong. Just don’t appreciate the attitude.

That being said I've also been checked at the same landing after deep holing where they just asked to look at the cooler and said have a nice day. Highly dependent on the officer, but overall they aren’t my favorite.

Depredation tags makes it easy to shoot deer at night. Especially with a thermal scope and suppressor. Yotes, pigs, coons, all of them. Sometimes a deer with horns gets shot in velvet, sometimes.


I have always been a bit confused about the rules. I cannot shoot a deer at night but my neighbor that farms 16 acres of beans can shoot them at night. Don't even need a hunting license or anything else.

I put 50 pounds of corn in the water and get arrested. My neighbor puts water on 540,000 pounds of corn and it is all good. See how this works?

Funny how money changes the outlook on things. I always felt the same about food plots vs corn piles when corn piles were not legal.

Most game wardens, (SC included) couldn’t tell you the difference between a catfish and a crappie now days, much less actually do their jobs as needed!!
