I hear ya, killadoe.

Examples of why killadoe's right:

1 - When I lived in Charleston, SC...it was legal for us to "Bait" for shrimp. We could purchase our "tags".....and the way it worked.....we'd get PVC poles (we'd mark our poles with our tags)....make up bait balls (out of VARYING ingredients....lol)......and "bait" the poles we'd stick in the pluff mud in the tidal creeks and harbor. Then.....we'd wait about 30 minutes......and cruise by the poles in our boats.....and cast our throw nets over the baited poles (usually 10). Limit was one 48 qt cooler per boat. I figured it up......I could have bought a HUGE FREEZER.......and filled it up with shrimp from the seafood house.....for what I spent on my permit; fuel; wear and tear on boat; cast net and TIME!!...lol

2- I've bought: 4 wheeler; bow; feeders; game cameras; various equipment; etc...all in pursuit of an animal that a LOT of people around my home think is a PEST....and MANY people GIVE AWAY the meat.

Save your money......and take up gol.........nope. I forgot about that, too. Nevermind.

In all honesty.....welcome to bow hunting. Come on in....the water's fine.
