do you leave your rig in the launch when hunting
« on: January 28, 2016, 03:14:27 PM »
Something I saw today.  I guess he didn't want anyone else out in a boat.  I may need a lesson in inserting photos.

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

Maybe he had a transmission slip trying to pull the trailer out.  Hopefully it wasn't just him being a turd.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Wonder if he was part of the crew looking for the missing hunter in a hurry?
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

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!   :tup:

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.

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  :)

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

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.
