Stupid laws we have are still stuck back in the days of sneak boats, punt guns, and market hunters. That's where the "no sculling" and "no water swatting" come from. Dumbasses.

Dumb rule. Scull where you want, looks like 800 yards to me.

Generally, I disregard the sillier regs, but I don't think I could get caught in a 15 foot wide gut and explain it away as 800 yards.

In addition to state regulations, the following federal rules apply
to the taking, possession, shipping, transporting and storing
of migratory game birds. No persons shall take migratory
game birds:

With a trap, snare, net, rifle, pistol, swivel gun, shotgun larger
than 10 gauge, punt gun, battery gun, machinegun, fish hook,
poison, drug, explosive, or stupefying substance;

With a shotgun of any description capable of holding more than
three shells, unless it is plugged with a one-piece filler, incapable
of removal without disassembling the gun, so its total capacity
does not exceed three shells. This restriction does not apply
during dates states have selected under the Conservation Order
for light geese (i.e. greater and lesser snow and Ross’s geese) or
those selected for the control of resident Canada geese.

From or by means, aid, or use of a sinkbox or any other type of
low-floating device, having a depression affording the hunter a
means of concealment beneath the surface of the water;

From or by means, aid, or use of any motor vehicle, motor-driven
land conveyance, or aircraft of any kind, except that paraplegics
and persons missing one or both legs may take from any station -
ary motor vehicle or stationary motor-driven land conveyance;

From or by means of any motorboat or other craft having a
motor attached, or any sailboat, unless the motor has been
completely shut off and/or the sails furled, and its progress
there from has ceased;

By the use or aid of live birds as decoys; although not limited to,
it shall be a violation of this paragraph for any person to take
migratory waterfowl on an area where tame or captive live ducks
or geese are present unless such birds are and have been for a
period of 10 consecutive days prior to such taking, confined
within an enclosure which substantially reduces the audibility
of their calls and totally conceals such birds from the sight of
wild migratory waterfowl;

By the use or aid of recorded or electrically amplified bird calls
or sounds, or recorded or electrically amplified imitations of
bird calls or sounds. This restriction does not apply during dates
states have selected under the Conservation Order for light
geese (i.e. greater and lesser snow and Ross’s geese) or those
selected for the control of resident Canada geese.

By means or aid of any motor-driven land, water, or air conveyance,
or any sailboat used for the purpose of or resulting in the con -
centrating, driving, rallying, or stirring up of any migratory bird;

By the aid of baiting, or on or over any baited area, where a
person knows or reasonably should know that the area is or
has been baited.

just don't try it in dare county or currituck county. county laws say you can't hunt from anything that floats without having a float blind license.

the only way you CAN hunt here is out of a licensed blind(county game commission issues the license) or on private property above the high water mark, and you better have written permission if you're on property you don't own.


when i was younger, you could get away with hunting out of the marsh as long as you stayed away from registered blinds but in the last few years a couple of the younger boys have caused so many problems that everyone complains about it and calls the law.
