Okay got more of the story.. Seems there was a duck hunter set up with decoys when the rush of fishermen from tournaments came into Kickapoo creek. Apparently duck hunter called the game warden, Warden showed up and removed the fishermen from duck hunters area. This is parts of a story that I have heard. Really would like to know the entire story..

I would think if the hunter is set up and boats start crowding him it would be considered hunter harassment which is against the law.

There's no fish in Kickapoo right now anyways, sounds like the hunter did them a favor.

I was fishing outside of Old Folks yesterday. A guy that was idling out told me that he had just been kicked out of the area by the warden due to duck hunters in the area. He was pretty pissed off.

From what I heard from guys that got ran out by the game wardens is that it was in Old Folks and it happened as soon as they got there. Sounds like a pre-planned deal by the duck hunters and the game warden for the wardens to be there that fast.

They may have had issues with anglers crowding the duck hunters prolior to this and decided to put a stop to it.

Game warden tells fishermen to not fish in the area a hunter is set up and is planning on shooting and fishermen get their feelings hurt. Kinda doing his job protecting the public wouldnt you think?
