Some hunters wonder what the flap is about.
After all, everyone who holds a license is entitled to take a daily bag limit of ducks. The article goes on to note that if each of California's 60,000 duck hunters killed a seven-bird limit every time out, in just nine days the state's population of 4 million wintering ducks would be wiped out. Still, if this whirling dervish is as effective as observers claim, the potential impact on duck populations could be devastating. Some hunters say using a motorized decoy is no different than using other decoys, a duck call, high-tech camouflage or any of the other innovations that improve a hunter's chance of success. Others say Moto-Duck violates the principles of fair chase and puts sportsmanship on the back burner.
