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. Legalize 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.

Lighted nocks have no tactical advantage....They are more ethical because on alot of pass thoughs your arrow isn't always in a dirrect line. Your arrow tells the story of your shot. finding it is important.electric spinners are for slob hunters

Way before neos, Decoys you pull the red plug in the butt and blew them up....Waxed paper shells... need more LOLyou shot your limit...if it flys it dies. no hen, pintail limit. hell I have shot once and had a full limit of pins with one shot. (lead #6)thats when you had 2 3/4 only.All these spinner bs is just that. Birds are not dumb. they learn every time I come near one I get shot at. I use a winduk early in the morning before LST to just after. If I dont limit in the first 10 mins. when the sun rises it get taken down. If you need a spinner full time your doing something wrong. Scout and find where birds want to be.Calm days on the wet side, all the spinners in the world wont pull them off the bays....Go home!!!I dont care if they make them legal again or not BFD.....what I care about is the season lenth and limits.
Electronic decoys are not needed, not if you can call worth a dang.. and know how to set decoys correctly. I agree with the scouting also.. put in the time.
