Re: Duck hunting in a speed boat
Anyone ever hunted ducks in a speed boat? Post your pics.
Just what are you asking here? have you spent too much time in the asian carp discussion?
Do you mean hunt from a speed boat as opposed to another kind of boat? If so, what's a "speed boat?" To me, it's a hydroplane, racer, or flat boat with limited seating and limited utility, other than driving fast. Then there are the "go-fast" or "cigarettes" that are larger. But I have seen posts here where OP calls any motor boat a speed boat.
Now, by Federal law, you can't shoot waterfowl from a boat that is being propelled at any speed by a motor--not even a trolling motor. So if you are asking about riding along in a fast motorboat shooting ducks, you are asking who has broken a very basic federal law. If they are dumb enough to answer they may be dumb enough to post pictures.
OTOH if you are asking about who has shot ducks from a non-moving motor boat that isn't set up like a duck blind, that can be done when the marsh is frozen and you are sitting at the only available open water. You can also shoot the local (non-migratory "golf course") geese from any boat since they are used to flying over fishing boats without being shot at. It's an effective method here when we have a special early season designed for killing the golf course geese.
Where I hunt some people take old "free boats" without motors and put them up on the marsh, leave the plug out, and brush them; gives them a place to sit and if it washes away in a storm, no loss.
