Some friends went striper fishing in Arkansas a few weeks ago and while they were fishing they saw a boat with two guys in it. The guys would pull up in a cove that had ducks on it and when the ducks would fly off they would jump up on the front deck and start shooting. The striper guide they had said it was legal in Arkansas as long as the boat was turned off. I have never heard anything like that before.
Do this. It is my experience that drunk people love to fight. It would be neighborly of you to accomodate him.
Its legal to shoot a shotgun in Ok at ducks on Corps of Engineer lakes from a boat as long as ALL forward motion provided by the motor, sail, oars etc has ceased.
I don't know about Arkansas laws, but its much different than shooting a centerfire across water.... any water.
I understand about the centerfire but I always thought it was illegal to shoot any gun on a lake. I would wind up in the lake if I tried that. Thanks for the info.
Duck hunters get a pass.
I can quote the law on that if you want tomorrow.
I've got to hit the sack.
Points well taken. I never thought about the ricochet.
Larkin- That's the lake. Although it's more like a swamp to be honest. I've never seen enough water in it to have more than a bass boat with a trolling motor on it. An outboard would bog down in the mud and get completely wrecked on the stumps that are all over the place.
Anyway, I get the point about it being unsafe or irresponsible, but instead of the guy coming down and saying, "Hey, what your doing is unsafe and probably illegal, I'd appreciate it if you stop", it just bothered me that he would take it to the "I'll bring my guns down blah, blah, blah" and I wanted to complain about it. I guess it is just a guy thing, B.B.
