What happens if the duck you shoot falls on land? In Mich, that would require trespass. The only time you can leave your boat or the streambed is to traverse around a deep hole or impediment which precludes your continuing down the river safely
Last time I looked at the CA regs, you are allowed to retrieve downed game birds that fall on posted land. Can't hunt the posted land, but can go in to recover the game. That's also the way the law reads in Iowa--except that private land does not have to be posted. You can hunt road ditches (outside of the "safety zone" near buildings occupied by people or animals), and you can cross onto private land without permission to retrieve a bird you shot. But you have to leave your gun behind.

Maybe the problem isn't the rich but us. I'd like to think that this fellow and his bought and paid for judge would have been tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail back in the day. Back in the day when a buck was still silver, when the country was strong.

Don't have a book handy, but I think I remember it is ok in GA to retrieve a bird that falls over the property line. If we shoot a deer and it runs, I usually get permission to track though...Geo

I e-mailed DNR this morning to ask about that. Will let you know what they say.

I, for one, don't give a sh*t whether one can retrieve a fackin' bird or not on somebody's property in Georgia. Sounds like it would be a fine practice for a young go gettin' up and coming lawyer to keep us Yankee sports from running afoul of Boss Hogg and Roscoe P. Coltrane, eh geo? I'd be somewhat more interested, Stan, on your opinion of the moral quandry DU finds itself in over the firing of Mr. Thomas. Or old colonel, what you think it says of the character of someone who would string an electrified wire across a river to keep people out? Or buying judges?

Stan - I agree - ducks flush as soon as a boat drifts into sight, no matter how far. I put out a few dekes and tuck the kayak in against a bank. The only vegetation is very low pickleweed, so no concealment other than camo.

For someone who thinks this thread should be in Misfires, which may no longer exist partly because of foul mouthed people like you, you sure have changed your tune. Now, you pretend to want to know my opinion on the DU vs Thomas set-to. I don't think you really care what my opinion is about anything and I can tell you ......... I'm losing lots of sleep over that. SRH __________________

Just got my new issue of the DU mag- no more Donnall Thomas, that;s for sure-replaced by Doug Larsen for the LAST CALL finis article- back pages--Any idiot who would string an electrified fence wire across any river, no matter if he owns both sides of said waterway- is asking for a major league lawsuit-trespass be damned. When I was about 15, hunting with Dad and Granddad with retired judge Boardman on his private 180 acres farm near Rives Junction, with Ralph Woodhurst, gun room manager at Smith & Winchester back then- former top live bird shot as well- The Judge winged a big rooster, which flew right across the neighboring fence-and that property owner had it posted. MI law states that you have to have the owners' permission, even to retrieve wounded game that you lawfully shot- so Dad volunteered me to hike around the owner's fence line to get permission, while he held the 20 gauge Model 12 that was my 13th Birthday present (I still have it)-- The "Lady of the house" was at home, her husband had gone to the elevator with a load of corn- I told her that if we were able, with the Judge's fine Shorthair, to retrieve that wounded bird, we would clean it and give it to her and her husband (who didn't bird hunt) for a Sunday dinner, and she said "OK" go right ahead. The bird couldn't outrun Judge Boardman's dog, we dispatched it and field dressed it, and gave it to her. It was the only rooster we put up all day, the rest were hens and quails- at that time, quail were protected- but due to that, we obtained permission to hunt his 120 adjoining acreage, and next year MI opened a quail season concurrent with the pheasant season. The best move any serious and ethical hunter can make is to obtain and keep good landowner relations- like money in the bank!!

Your answer was better than I could have hoped for...
You're wrong that I don't care what your opion is, Stan. I wouldn't have asked if I didn't. Now...not so much.
Yes, I do have a potty mouth. The downside is it keeps me out of the Fake Ass Gentleman's Crybaby Club. The upside is the same.

Hey, no reason to abandon an interesting thread just because a dolt shows his butt. Lonesome wants an opinion, so here's mine.
What's happened is a rich retired Doctor with a retirement hobby of writing magazine articles has discovered what the rest of us working stiffs have always known. You bite the hand that is feeding you, you get fired.
He is a pretty entertaining writer and he'll do fine between his retirement homes in Montana and Arizona. Don't much think he'll be fishing the Ruby River on Jim Kennedy's place much though...Geo
