Yet another poorly worded law. Who the hell writes these things? Or do they purposely try to word them to be confusing?
Since it's only the State regs that say no motorized/electronic decoys, I'm not sure what the problem is since he got clarification that the ice eater/wave machine is OK if it is not a decoy?

What if local gamie says, sure no problem, what’s to assure the gamie that checks me later agrees with him/her? If you've done your due diligence and received a go ahead from one, it's unlikely another would cite you. More likely, he'd check with the officer you spoke with and would drop it. In addition, as an authority representing the state DFW, you would be covered in a court case. No one's going to convict someone who went through the steps to ensure they're legal. There may be exceptions to this but you'd be super unlikely to be one of them.That’s not been my experience with law enforcement personnel. With F&W LE? Really? I've had no problems with them and they've always been very helpful with my questions.

The USFWS may view this regulation differently then WDFW.
