Layout hunting without a tender or an anchor? People do that?

Sure they do. It's called "Darwin's Natural Selection Process."

So they just lay there and let the wind take them where it wants? Are the decoys attached to the boat? What kind of layout are they using that's paddle friendly?

Actually the requirements are each one independent. I called the DNR on this, if you are on Pepin and anchored the guy I spoke with said as long as you are anchored.

The reason these are not cumulative is because #1 would include #2 two if it were cumulative.

This is as interpreted to the guy I spoke to when calling the 800 phone number in the regs book.

Open water hunting on Pepin is legal when anchored. Harold doesn't know what he's talking about.

Was down on Pepin the last 3 days 1 Goldeneye Fri and 1 Goldeneye today ya you always have a few flybys when looking the wrong way but there hasn't been many of those.. Saw some good rafts of birds Saturday on North end of Lake but they stayed in the middle no shoreline action. There was nothing much today in the same area as yesturday. I'm sure they are still around but we didn't look south of Frontenac.

All I will say is to many A%% clowns on every point, along with being 3 in the state park and in 2 in a city park all no hunting areas to make wanting to hunt the lake for 2 birds worth it..... did watch some clown try to hunt out in the open out of a small Jon boat this evening all I will say is I watched them because I thought I would be the first 911 caller for them .........
