Next thing you know, they'll be wearing over-sized waders down below their waistlines, have spinners on their boat trailers, and Hardcore Waterfowler stickers plastered on their trucks.

It's lack of upbringings, plain and simple. And that's the worst part. In the absence of someone - anyone - having taught them the right way to conduct themselves and to hunt ducks (or anything), they show up with loud attention getters that say: Look at me! I'm too stupid to kill a duck, but don't I look and sound cool!

I want to say thanks to everyone that has joined this much need petition to ban mufflerless surface drive outboard motors on our state WMA's. The response in a matter of just an hour has been great. At this point over 25 ethical public duck hunters have added there names to our petition to ban this obnoxous practice.
If you are opposed to this retarted topwater trend on our WMA's please keep PMing me with your names, address and phone # and I'll continue to add to the list of hunters that want this sort of behavior stopped and see to it the the good folks at the MS Dept of Wildlife Fisheries and Parks in Jackson get to hear our concerns.
Thanks and keep'm coming.
Don Miller.

I have always looked for a way to run quiet, why would you want to make noise and run everything off. I wish I could find a quiet muffler for my Rhino.

Pickle is getting to old to whoop booty. I may have to call on my ol football buddy Wes Shivers and bribe the El Camino Crew with free Old Crow whiskey and a 8 ball of meth to get this situtation under control. :wink: Those straight pipes will sure look funny bent in the shape of a pretzel. :idea:

I will say that the regulations on all goverment owned land ,including WMA's, is that you must have a muffler equipped with a a spark arrestor. This includes ATV's,side x side's, and boat motors. Has been a law for quiet some time. Sounds to me like the Warden needs to tighten up a bit. But hell I will sign your petition if you think it will help, pm sent.
