Valid point. The inherent problems with regulations is that enforcement is needed.

Do you think that maybe they should've opened all the marsh and it be a "enter at your own risk policy"? Just curious if you think this is a good move.

My personal opinion is they should've left it alone and policed the illegal outboard marsh running. The birds were there, but unfortunately so were the people. So groups would pile onto one another to avoid paddling or trollin any deeper in the marsh. So after a couple weekends when that act gets tired and the lack of a game warden presence is noticed, then you see the marsh runners come out. So when you wake up early to make that hour long paddle to get away from the crowds, you've got somebody who slept in and just blows by you and proceeds to where he heard a bunch of shooting last weekend; ie your hole. So do the math on what it's gonna be like this year.
