Why not play catch and release instead of slamming the throttle down when you've caught your limit? You can still catch however many you want, just can't keep them. That's what fishing has over hunting. How cool would it be on those rare mornings if you could continue to "catch and release" ducks after your limit.

I don't necessarily have an issue with catch and release, but I don't do it with legal fish (with a few exceptions). Harvest limits are set for a reason....as a means of management. Conservative limits aren't beneficial, because they leave too many fish in the ecosystem, and it reduces the health of this fish. Just look at all of Mathgeek's studies. Limits need to be set based on the science available. Limits (or regulations) that are too conservative can be just as detrimental to a population as limits that are too liberal.

But I would bet dollars to donuts that you wouldn't actually turndown a new truck given you won it.

****, I'd sell it in a heartbeat and pay off my truck, and probably find something to do with what ever is left. They never give away a truck I want anyway.
