agree and agree.....

I cut a few derelict lines today. If it looks old and it's in my way I often use my pliers. I don't mess with a fresh one that people are tending though. I would love to see them all go.

When I was fishing Saturday I saw a dead bird hung up in a limb line. It had the colors of either a hawk or owl. After reading this article I am going to start removing abandon lines.

ditto hate them

double ditto.....hate them.....

You boys sound like deer hunter's. The ones who think they are the only ones who should be in the woods. NUFF SAID!

I am on a lease that's lottery for stands. Not a private stand on the lease. Not all deer hunters are stereotypical as you suggest. I run jugs and limb lines when I fish. But I tag my jugs and flag my limb lines. When I leave I take them with me. I am not complaining about running limb lines. What I am complaining about is the numbers of abandon lines out there that doesn't have a hook or been used in months. Some are just litter and a hazard to wildlife, fishermen and skiers. With the bacteria in our estuaries these days it would sux to be the one in the hospital trying to save a limb or my life. Just my 2 cents.

5 post! Nuff said!, Well maybe not.... I don't have a problem with guys using them on a camping trip but cut them down when you are done! When I was younger, we caught our supper using limb lines but we always cut them down when we finished.
