Gigging Bust

[MOPanfisher]

Chief churches are like people, some will abuse priveledge others wont.  Since I sit in the finance chair position at my small church I know that there are many who will take advantage of the system given a chance.  Seems larger churches are worse, but that a whole different conversation that we will need a campfire and cold beer for.

Old Plugwith my employer I fully understand the military outlook.  However I know there is a vast difference in how laws are enforced on a military installation and the rest of the world.  On say Ft. Leavenworth 20 mph means 20 mph not 25, in the real world that doesn't have an MP every 500 yards it simply doesn't work.  I fully agree on changing the code to clear it up or allow it under certain circumstances, including adding armadillos to the "no closed season" listing with starlings and house sparrows.  But that takes time to get through the various hoops, hopefully with the next round of changes it will happen, but I won't hold my breath.  The code will never be perfect by any means but there are some things that could easily be refined.

Not sure Armadillos will ever make the list. 

They have been on the move north out of South America for a few 100 years. They first entered Texas in the early 1880's. They have naturally moved towards Missouri and made their first showing about 1980. 

I was like you and everyone else when they first showed up. But man didn't have anything to do with it.

Agreed. 

On all accounts.

Chief----- I just want to say the worst I seen was anything but a church.  I Really think in the church's it is ignorance.  They see  the. Fishing rules pamplet, but do not know there is Missouri wildlife code. They think that's it.

.Alot of gigging party's have fish frys on a gravel bar.  I've seen the remnants afterwards on winter floats and plenty of those heads aren't suckers.  

I have no doubt that they prefer suckers, but they loaded up all the cooking stuff, drinks, and side dishes....so you can bet your butt they are gonna have a fish fry whether the suckers are plentiful or not.  

So why not use drones to fly over gigging boats at night? It sure would make them think twice about sticking game fish! Then they WILL know there are eyes watching them.

Sure. Why not have them fly around your yard too to make sure your plants are legal. Fly them around downtown to catch jaywalkers. Fly them around in stores to make sure you aren't stealing anything. Maybe we can even equip them with tear gas and tazers.

I think we need to drop the whole drone technology thing. We don't need drones tracking people. And we don't need a million of them in the sky delivering packages. Just another example of the need to have everything right now and the greed to deliver it.

I hope it never comes to that, i'm afraid it's just a matter of time.

Yep. As soon as Amazon gets their way (buys some politicians) it's all downhill from there.

For illegal giggers I hope they get busted by any means possible, I don't like the idea of drones either but it's already happening. Satellites already can read license plates
