do you leave your rig in the launch when hunting

[Bill W]

Something I saw today.  I guess he didn't want anyone else out in a boat.  I may need a lesson in inserting photos.

[Odell]

That's insane and I can't believe someone would do that. Come back to four flats in many parts of the state.

Maybe he had a transmission slip trying to pull the trailer out.  Hopefully it wasn't just him being a turd.

Wonder if he was part of the crew looking for the missing hunter in a hurry?

That's justifiable if that's the case, splash-n-run

Still stupid, what about the next guy that wanted to help?

If that happened to me I wouldn't abandon my vehicle.  He's a turd!

I can think of four launches where that happens. 3 on the Frenchman's and one on the Winchester. PM me which launch and I'll tell you if I've seen that rig before blocking the launch. You should have been able to whack and stack em today? Buddies got a 4 man limit and 3 geese today.

[Bill W]

He had no vehicle issues and was "happily" out hunting the lake.

I took a picture but wasn't able to figure out how to post it.

Was this a public boat launch? I'd think the sheriff would be more than happy to call in a tow truck to move that.... Far far away 

[D-Rock425]

Move it yourself hook up some straps a go.

What missing hunter? I'm in Moses Lake, is there a current search going on right now?

[lokidog]

Move it yourself hook up some straps a go.

It would be easier to push it "downhill"....         

[jgoetz]

I would have left him with four flats.  And flattened the spare too if I didn't have to get wet to do it.

[Dan-o]

So, I've never done anything like this, and can't imagine that I ever would.   

However......

The last couple years of my dad's life, he would do it.

He was physically feeble and a leg amputee, but once in a while he'd decide to go fishing by himself and leave his truck/trailer on the ramp.

He'd scoot on his butt to go fishing.

I always worried about him..... but you couldn't stop him and he didn't ask permission.

I'm not condoning it.....   But it did happen.

[Bill W]

I have a private launch where I could leave the trailer in while fishing.  I thought that was a good idea and mentioned it to my fishing partner.  He said it wasn't a good idea as the inside of the wheel bearings gets soaked and causes rusting and corrosion.

I guess in the long run that hunter will cause himself some problems

[BigGoonTuna]

seen a few guys doing it at the nisqually river during salmon season.  i used to hate it but i can understand now, since all the doughballs down there fishing off the bank will park along the river and completed block access to the water for boats coming and going.

[hunt4life]

Ya some jack wagon did that at mill town a few weeks ago!! And guess what he got a ticket!!

[Bennick16]

Jees bill sounds like we left this guy off easy

[sakoshooter]

Jerk. No two ways about it. Self centered jerk.
Next time call the cops. Take a pic also so you can email it to the local LEO. Witnesses are good also. That'd be my first step. If they wouldn't do anything, then the flat tires would happen.

[Da goat]

This was my first full year of duck hunting with my boy and I have seen some pretty sweet behavior at the launch. Nothing like getting ready to launch and someone speeds down and tries to launch in front of you .
