I was hoping to get an out of state nebraska paddle tag, but this year they changed the rules governing out of state tags, made it pretty hard........oh well, try again next year.

What in gods name do you do with that fish??? do you eat them what?? just wondering

RE: no SD bowfishers?
 

Well Rich,
They can all be eaten, but if that's not your thing they also make some of the best fertilizer.

...and don't worry about bowfishers taking too many carp... any place there are carp, there are usually too many and the population suffers just like deer. Keeping a turnover allows the remaining fish to grow bigger and reduces the amount of silt in the water that can drive away other game fish.

Ever tried bowfishing?
You should come out with us in the spring.
