Are they legal to use or not this upcoming Saturday?

Gay. I read the regs and I guarantee it is a typo that they'll now enforce.

I haven't used a spinner in years but I dusted a couple off and rigged something up I'm anxious to try. Guess I'll wait until Sunday or just use it on one of my numerous spots where I don't have to worry about other hunters on Saturday.

Fish the spinners always start on Sun not Sat for as long as I can remember. Sunset starts on Sat though.

Those two used to both be on Sunday. I liked it that way because that first afternoon you can hunt is usually dynamite and when it was Sunday there was usually no one out.

^^^I'm a big fan of evening hunts.

I do think a good compromise and way to create more resting areas would be to shut down all WPA's at noon (or maybe 1 pm to appease the pheasant guys). No access or traffic would be allowed. It'd make enforcement easy...if you're seen on a WPA after the closing time you get cited.

It'd be a waterfowl rule for land that was purchased and managed intended for waterfowl.

Shoot they can't even keep people from hunting the close, no way they could enforce that.
