What if it's a trailer tournament and you idle into an area before the duck hunters set up decoys? Couldn't you argue they are harassing you?

When you see the decoys, show some respect and give him some space.

First come, first served would by my guess/opinion. Been wrong before though...a lot so I might be off base here.

I would say absolutely yes and I believe a game warden would agree with you but thats not the order the OP said took place.

Its pretty simple. We can fish all year..... duck hunters get 60 days let them have their area. I do both and have seen fisherman plenty of times comes in right on top of you then want to complain because you pepper them when some ducks come in.

are you going to be idling in there at 3-4 in the morning? I can promise the duck hunter will be there by that time or earlier.

Tournament boats will never be out before duck hunters. I do both and try to respect anyone else on the water.
Tournament days start with early hours but duck hunting starts hours before that

Its easy to fish right up on a group of duck hunters and never know they are there. Especially in an area like old folks. Especially if the hunting is slow and there is not alot of shooting going on. I've done that many times by pure accident. Come around a blind corner and there you are. I don't think I would take getting "peppered" well. Especially on a purely accidental encounter.

I agree. I respect everyone that's on the water. But if I happen onto someone by accident and my boat gets peppered there will be a "conversation" had....

Last Friday on Palestine I ran up on some hunting the main lake outside of flat creek. I had no clue the were there until I was right outside of their spread and they got out of their blind.

Sometimes it's accident, sometimes it's not. Had an instance a couple of years ago during a high school tournament where a team was fishing just outside the hunter's decoys to which the hunters said "what's the deal? yall are fishing in my decoys." The reply from the high school team's boat captain was "We're not yet, but we're about to be." Something like that is completely unacceptable and sickening that some captains teach the kids that that is ok behavior. It's very simple, if you see decoys or hear shooting stay out of the area until they pack up. If you accidently come in on a group of hunters apologize for getting in their way and move out of the area. I try to tell people to think about if the roles were reversed and you were fishing a spot at daylight and a group of duck hunters came buzzing in and threw their decoys out right where you were casting. Either scenario is no good and yes like stated above if done intentionally could land someone in jail for hunter harrasment.

a couple years ago I jumped on the THF to ask the duck hunters what time they usually finish up. Was headed to Ray Bob up in Buck Creek and didnt want to get in the way. Thought I was doing the courteous thing by asking... boy was I wrong. These folks thought I was trying to milk them for information and went sideways. Even got some heated PMs. They seem to be even more elitist than bass fishermen if thats possible. Im thankful that my buddy has a deer lease loaded with ducks so I dont have to go to public water and deal with all the Willie wannabes to hunt. I know the nappy beard is in these days but its comical how many duck dynasty look alikes you start to see at the boat ramp about 2 weeks before duck season. roflmao

I bowfish a lot when I'm not bass fishing, and winter is the time to shoot the big ones after a few days warming trend. They get REAL upset when I roll up on them in my fanboat about an hour before sun up.... But how the heck am I supposed to know they are there?!
