It's not that I don't cover my ears, I do. I don't carry ear plugs because I can cover my ears with my hands - and hope I don't miss a bite while in that position. That is not the issue I tried to bring up.

The issue that I tried to bring up is that the generator of the obnoxiously loud noise should know that it is wrong to generate an obnoxiously loud noise that is so loud that the person they are passing-by needs to protect himself.

I've tried to fit the gun range and other analogies to this, but not one analogy that I've read or thought of works 100% for this situation. The closest I can come is that if you want to shoot a gun, that's fine as long as you are a sufficient distance from anyone that the noise of the gun does not damage them (and all other safety factors accounted for). However if you walk up close to a person to fire your gun and you are wearing ear protection, don't you already know that you are doing something wrong? I say you do know, and you are in the wrong.

The airboats can be quieter, as can be easily determined by listening to different airboats. So if they can be quieter, they should be quieter when they are going to be in close proximity to other people.

When you go to a gun range, you EXPECT loud noise. When you go fishing, you EXPECT peace and quiet.

At my Gun Range, we have some guys using high powered rifles. They warn everyone before they shoot, and we put our ears on, if not already on. We don't ask them to use a silencer or not shoot. Think that is pretty standard across all gun ranges, and so is ear protection.

Funny I would think someone not wearing ear protection at the gun range should know they are wrong.

This reminds me of fishing in the boat lane posts.

Most gun ranges REQUIRE ear protection anytime on the firing line. It would be stupid not to.

Bottom line- This is Texas. We enjoy the free will that we have, that a lot of other places do not. Everyone is free to do as they wish within the law (which we already have too many in my opinion, but that's another discussion.) So handle it yourself instead of removing that responsibility and putting it on someone else. I'm not blaming the sun for this 27th degree sunburn that I have right now. It's my fault for not wearing sunscreen. I really don't understand why that's such a tough concept to grasp. I get it- they aren't considerate of your ears. You've mentioned it. Cowboy the F up, this ain't California.

Know what I hate? Wakeboard boats and Jet Ski's. Yeah they wear me out, especially on the river. Wake boats beat my boat up against the dock and cause erosion of the river bank. Falling trees and what not. I might bitch about it once in a while but there is nothing that I can legally do about it, so guess what? I deal with it.

You really just don't get it do you? Are you "not getting" it on purpose?

"Cowboy the F up, this ain't California."

Your grasp of geography is pretty good, your grasp of basic logic, not so much.

It is yes. We were taking wounded veterans on a fishing trip that day. BRAB was hosting the event. I was around all of their boats and none of them were of the excessively noisy variety. Perhaps because they seem to be responsible people?

Okay, I'm getting some feedback that makes it clear they are knee-jerking and not actually reading what I posted.

So, in future, I won't bother responding to a post that makes it clear they aren't bothering to respond to what I actually wrote. But I will try to respond to those that appear to be responding to what I actually wrote.

knowing full well you could prevent this by every now and then while fishing you take approx 4.2 seconds placing 35 cent ear plugs in to avoid your hearing damage? Not saying you have to like it , but personal responsibility has to factor in somewhere.
Why do people want to turn to government for all their problems i.e. " ought to be outlawed"
"Need a law" etc etc. just my 35 cents worth


I could care less about hearing loss. I already lost my hearing in 1966-67 in Vietnam.
At least airboats don't make big roller wakes that knock you overboard.

It reads like I'm not the only one. Do you get what others are saying?

Don't grasp logic? Here's some logic. You're a self entitled d bag that thinks everyone needs to adhere to your way of thinking. Everyone bow to the gluten free fantasy novel writer. Gtfoh.
