[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 387383, member: 9169"] I hunt a public river all the time for ducks and geese. Typically we do not see much boat traffic or people on the canal running/biking because it's usually cold during the season. We are ALWAYS respectful of anyone in the area and no matter how many geese/ducks are decoying in we will NOT shoot if another boater is on the river on someone is on the canal downrange. It's just a basic matter of being safe. Last year during the early season (September) we had a pair of guys (idiots) on a boat come trolling by and were actually casting into our decoys. Typically we set our furthest decoy out 30-40 yards as a distance indicator. So these guys were at least that close, seeing a few guys all camo'd up holding shotguns yet they still came into our decoys making casts. We didn't say a word. Gave them a friendly wave, and let them do their thing. They eventually trolled on up river. It's just not worth it getting into a pissing match with someone about being in our way on a public river. Best to avoid confrontation when possible, especially when guns are involved. [/QUOTE]
