What do think?

I think they need another option - similar to Cali

They are only allowed during part of the season 

[Crispy]

It's one less expensive thing I have to buy 

[Mr56Jeep]

I say let'em in.  No reason not to.  If you don't like'em.... Don't use'em.

In the wrong hands, they flair birds just like a duck call does in the wrong hands.  They ain't magic.

Just more trash people will leave after a hunt

[Widgeondeke]

Honestly I don't want an electric wing. I would like to be able to use my quiver magnets.   

[pianoman9701]

I've never used one, but i would. If they make them for geese, that would definitely help the spread.

[Skagit_Hunter]

They suk! but quivers are the cats azz

[Madison]

I would prefer no electronic decoys at all.

Absolutely no way they should allow those damn things back...  Just makes for a bunch of guys that don't know how to hunt shoot more birds.  I think it's pretty unethical, and a line that shouldn't be crossed (again).

I respectfully disagree with the lighted nocks analogy.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a lighted nock more of a post shot retrieval asset?

I guess I can understand the whole technology arguement...I mean, it's not like a hundred years ago guys were shooting with 50mm 20x scopes killing deer from a "mile" out, yet we do it today.

In my humble opinion, I just don't think it's ethical, or fair chase, to be using something motorized to trick birds.  I just think a guy should learn how to read wind, area, and tailor his spread accordingly.

Maybe we should do it like they hunted in the old days?  You know, with lead, live ducks for decoys, sink boxes and unlimited diameter bore guns?

I don't buy it. Leagalize them. Just another tool to use. They are worthless in the wrong hands just like a duck call or a shot gun for that matter.

I think your arguement lacks fundamental logic Jeep...  I think most knowledgeable waterfowlers would agree that they are a significant advantage, and thus outlawed.
