Under the Fair Debt Collection Act, doing that is illegal and unethical. Calling more than once a day is also supposed to be illegal along with calling before 8:00 am and after 9:00 pm.

Those guys in core sound are bad. They're dang experts at gill net fishing, but horrible for the resource. Thier nets in the south end of core sound literally go from one side to the other with a just one or two fifty foot openings for passage. I'm talking a mile or two of nets. Its a monster in ev...

I wouldnt say that the cops in WB have it too tough. Or that they are constantly in situation where they fear for their lives. Unless a herd of topless UNCW beauties is charging them. This guy may have over reacted a bit. It wasn't WBPD. The deputy in question was with the New Hanover County Sherif...

More than you know.

Better stop while you're behind.

I expect the statewide section 10 permit application to go down in flames before this is over. This is, IMHO, another nail in the gill net coffin. Louis Daniel is on the hook now. He cannot relent to the net hugger crowd because the feds and the turtle folks will drag the MFC/DMF back into the 4th C...

One great dog, family pet, and one helluva duck hunting machine.

It's also a shame the cop didn't tazer the punk proclaiming his rights to videotape. He had every legal right to tape it. It was public property and he was using his own camera. The deputy was full of crap in saying that he could be arrested for videotaping the incident. Sheriff McMahon even had a ...

Yeah, it is attached with fasteners to the bottom (not welded). I thought about removing the hitch myself at one time.

Where is the closest NMFS office and do they carry guns and badges? Let's say they ban gill nets. Who is going to enforce it? I've called DMF more than once on violations and no one has ever showed up, not that day, not the next. I called them about a bunch of crab pots (in the channel too!) that w...

won't this just make the Comm fishermen pound the inshore waters harder. They already had plans for that, considering they gave NMFS the middle finger the other night when the MFC voted to reject NMFS's / Louis Daniel's proposal for a partial gill net closure and go to a 4 day a week, gill net anyw...

The burden is on DMF. They screwed up by letting this end up in a lawsuit. If they had done their job like they were supposed to this would never had happened. Regardless of the outcome, and I think that the Plaintiffs have a good case, DMF will lose even more credibility, what little they had to b...

I usually breast out divers and soak them overnight in a marinade of teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, salt & pepper. I fire up the grill and pull them out of the marinade, wrap a slice of bacon around it and secure it with a toothpick. Grill them until the center is just slightly pink and serve up. ...

Seastreet, no problem at all, thank you for your support. By no means did I say I should be given special privledges, I was just saying that everyone has certain circumstances as to why they choose to want to hunt on Sundays or why they would choose not to hunt on Sundays, that's just the thing tho...

Me being an Active Duty Marine, I have to work a lot of long hours during the week and sometimes on Saturdays and some seasons I get deployed and can't hunt at all, so I think hunting should be allowed on Sundays. Seriously think about it, you can fish, golf, ride a loud motorcycle, go out to eat, ...

My whole point is that no politician should be telling me that I can't hunt on MY private land on Sunday. If you want to keep it for public land, then whatever. If I want to go onto MY private land next September on a Sunday, and shoot Canada geese or deer, then it should be within my rights as a p...

I thought it was a strecth too Jimbob, but my issue with the ban is primarily because the ORIGINAL INTENT of the ban was solely a means of moral control through blue laws. I don't care what it has morphed into on a personal level for some folks, but the fact remains that this is nothing more than an...

Ms. Beasley was awarded $5,000 in doantions tonight at the Redfish Can't Jump conservation documentary premier. That just one night with about 250 recreational fishermen. Money won't be an issue.

I heard that Carteret Co. has some kind of new restrictions on gill nets. So does the Pamlico Sound and Cape Fear River for large mesh flounder nets. Unfortunately, the netters will just crowd into Onslow, Pender and New Hanover County to the point that you can hop from net float to net float from ...

I agree, but they would be making most of those regulations based on the best management practices for the resource ( at least I would like to think so), and not pushing one particular groups sense of morality on us all. That is the problem I have with this law. That is laughable at best. Since whe...

Dont you think people should be able to do whatever they want to on their weekend? You can fish,play golf,watch nascar,etc but you can't hunt on your day off?

When using puddle duck dekes, the fewer the better. When I pothole hunt, i typically use 6 or less. When I hunt in backwater for puddlers, I use about 6-8 if wood ducks are in the mix. Diver duck hunting is another situation altogether. The more the better. When hunting open water for divers, I will...

I'd be willing to bet that my old man has killed more woodroes and knows more about hunting woodroes than anyone in this state, and he will readily tell you that if the bird is on the water you can whistle'em in. You don't need a call, I've seen him do it with just his mouth or the dog whistle. If ...

No I didn't miss your original point talking about blowing the wrong calls. I was making the point that you don't need a $35 call to make all those ridiculous calls you named when a hooooo-weeeeeeek with a whistle works just as well as a burrrrrrleek with a call. Which reinforces the point that mos...

The hunter is Rusty Duke's son. That's why you can't find anything in the media about it. I was told it happened as Seastreet described. The gun was dropped and discharged. Hope he is ok...prayers up for him. I don't know if Rusty Duke is his father, but I got the information from Lawrence's brothe...

It was not Rusty Dukes. Lawrence Hobgood was his name and he did lose his leg. The accident happened near Hobucken and the guy nearly lost his life if it weren't for the quick action of one of the hunters putting a tourniquet on the leg using Lawrence's belt. According to reliable sources, the gun w...

If you are in a location where wood ducks normally spend their day, they will decoy very easily. If you are sitting out on an open river, forget it. Scouting is the key. Otherwise, decoys will just get them to pass by low enough to get a shot or two. Also, most people don't call wood ducks properly....

Make sure a new boat is completely outfitted on a foggy day in the sound. I heard that story. No GPS in the fog is a scary situation for sure. I think the scariest story was of how our four friends on here almost lost their lives sea duck hunting a couple of years back. When I got the call from up ...

Most of the people who post on it are either young, inexperienced dumbarses that don't know any better, or guides trolling for clients.

You will get more for your money regardless of the amount giving it to DU than you will buying a duck and waiting for a mallard or any other duck to come from up north to visit, I can assure that there work is a lot more valuable than raising tame ducks In the last number of years, that has become ...

You pro-tamie release morons really need to do some research on a little problem better known as duck plague. Studies have shown that over 70% of duck plague outbreaks occur within three miles of a release site of tame mallards. The second most noted problem with the tamies is hybrid breeding. Studi...
