Does it actually say you can"t take them by hand?

if you are floating beneath the surface(swimming). you have to be standing on solid ground or be above the water. layout boats are a grey area

I forgot about this part. Hell, in MD, there are only two locations where you are even allowed to hunt standing on the bottom. Everywhere else must (technically) be on shore or in a boat. Ridiculous, this state.

Maryland sounds like the definition of contradiction

Hunting while Standing on the Natural Bottom
This method of hunting was formerly termed "body-booting". Hunting while standing in water on the natural bottom is legal at a licensed blind site (see above) or in specified waters of the state. The specified waters of the state where hunting by this method is allowed are the Sea Duck Zone, the Offshore Waterfowl Hunting Zone (often referred to as the gunning rig zone) and the nontidal waters of the Potomac River. Rules for hunting while standing on the natural bottom are the same as hunting from an anchored boat.

While it may appear that there are a lot of places for this, it's not the case. Both the Sea Duck zones and Gunning Rig zones are generally located at least 800 yards from any shore. I'm sure you could find a place to stand on the bottom somewhere, but most likely your head would be 25' under water as well. Dumbasses. And standing in the non-tidal waters of the Potomac is a quick ticket to a drowning death. So basically, 95% (or more) of the waters and marshes that people hunt, you're not allowed to stand on the bottom and hunt.

Click here and play with this mess of a map to get a true taste. Here, people may license blind sites even on private land, if the owner doesn't register it before, I think, July 10th every year. A lot of people do it, but I can't help but think you're just asking for aggravation if you license a stretch of shoreline in someone's backyard and build a blind on it, especially if they just forgot to license it.

Why in the world do you still live in that state??

[assateague]

And if you do, click on "Legend" in the toolbar, and tell me if you can see any difference whatsoever in "licensed properties" and "areas closed". DNR here is an effing joke.

other than on state/federal owned land, it's the same here. only land owners have no rights over a area. whoever has the blind licensed, has hunting rights for 500 yards in every direction. all blinds must be licensed and can't be within 500 yards of another. can't hunt from a boat/floating blind without a float blind permit and there are only 125 of them issued each year and most are renewed to the person that had it the year before.


someone said they inherited a tiny marsh island that my family has had blinds on since the early 1900's, no one else has ever hunted there. they thought if they filed a complaint with the game commission, i would have to move the blinds and they would be able to hunt. with approval of the game commission, i moved the blinds into the water. they will never legaly hunt there as long as i'm alive. if they would have went about it different i would have let them hunt when i wasn't there but they wanted to be dicks about it.

Does it actually say you can"t take them by hand?

So, yes it says you can't take game birds, including waterfowl by hand.



all of that being said, the duck commander admits that his first duck was with a sling shot and a sling shot is NOT an approved method of taking game birds in ANY state. Phil Robertson is the same as Jeff Foiles in my book.

So you lump a young poor coonass Phil that most likely shot the duck just to eat with a scoundrel like Foiles?

I put law breakers with law breakers.

They both broke the law for personal gain.

No, Phil did not. Phil did it to eat, to survive. It was hell of a lot longer ago than Foiles, also.

I love it when rules work against the asshats of the world. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

it's nice that they have a online map of licensed locations up there. here, you have to go to the game commission office to view the blind location maps. they have it on a google maps account as well as old school maps, seems like it shouldn't be to hard to make a public map online like the one you linked to

no matter when he did it, it was still illegal.

phil did it to survive which is personal gain.

[Bufflehead]

you ever broken a law?

[duckkillerclyde]

phil also admits to

shooting waaaaaaaaay too many ducks

.

This was of course after he had left his wife and kids to fend for themselves when he was out drinking and abusing drugs and committing adultery.

It explains all of this in the movie. A fistful of ducks. Phil is the one who explains it.

[duckkillerclyde]

Yes.

clyde didn't stick around long, must be trying a screen shot of phil with a slingshot and a duck

[Goldfish]

I want to try and get a duck with a slingshot. It'd be quite the challenge I'd think.


Besides, it's just one big BB instead of a bunch of little BBs. What's the difference? You are shooting the same projectile.
