Dang duck hunters

[TRIGGER]

The other night after leaving a shallow area I tried to take off and knew something was wrong. I heard tick, tick, tick, tick, tick and thought something was bad wrong with my new motor. Nah just trash the duck hunters left behind. Good thing I keep a small pair of bolt cutters in the boat.

What is it?

What is it?

It fencing wrapped around my prop. Duck hunters use it around the outside of their blinds to hold the brush for camouflage.

There's a couple old cattle panel blinds I know of that sit just under the surface at summer pool. They would sure ruin your day if you got into one

Scary stuff

Duck hunters get away with leaving more $hit in the lake than anyone.

Lake lice are kinda trashy too…..



Could be a decoy I guess….

Millions of beer cans/ bottles litter the bottom of the river..

Dang duck hunters…

Thanks for the tip on the bolt cutters, that's one that never thought of…
Without them you would have been in trouble..

I'm sure no fishermen ever fish around a duck blind.........

A responsible duck hunter would not leave that. I would guess young guys that have not been taught properly. I have seen plenty of them. And fishermen leave plenty of trash also, just saying.

This was not a bash on duck hunters but I was bashing whoever left that in the water while I was balancing on my cavitation plate trying to cut it out of there.

I keep the bolt cutters in case I have to cut a hook for any reason. Have never used them before this but was dang glad I had them.

It is possible that it was not anything done deliberately. Wind will rip the brush and panels off after whatever it is stapled to gets enough age on it. And if it was anywhere close to a WMA blind, duck hunters that built a stick blind instead of using a floater are pretty much required to leave it in place, and after that, anything can and does happen. And when the state burns those out when they need rebuilt, they don't cart any of what was on/in a blind out that I am aware of.

I saw several pictures from blinds being sheared off at water's level by ice on Reelfoot. I highly suspect a lot of that sunk. May be even more interesting to motor around down there.

Hey. I lived that nightmare. Went from this to that on reelfoot. We tried very hard to recover what we could but there will be someone cussing me at some point. Nothing I could do. We lost all kinds of stuff.

And never fish in your decoys while you're hunting.
