Thread: Carpet!

Glad you got it cleaned up! Those ring neck doves are an invasive bird and their is no limit and no closed season on those! But I guess your in the city limits which may have a firearm discharge law! They do eat good though!

I agree with you Fur carpet is good for certain things but a boat isn't one of them at least not for a boat that catches fish. It looks great especially in a new rig sitting on the show room floor but is sure is easier if you have some kind of spray in to come home and spray it out with a hose and it's ready to go again and I know with my previous boat it would take a week or to for it to dry out with carpet but that's my opinion and now a days most boat manufacturers offer a alternative to carpet.

Yeah the shop is in the city limits. It's only about 3/4 mile from the police station. You can imagine with all the feed trailers we have there that birds and RATS are always an issue. I've had a few rat killings and I just call the police chief and tell him I'm about to start shooting.

FYI, those ringneck doves eat just as good as their cousins that do have a season on them, plus the breast is about twice as big.

It does look good and it feels good under bare feet and it's cooler, but I guess I'm gonna learn to live without it one of these days when I trade boats.

Man, that sounds rough and hindsight is always 20/20 but a boat cover may be in order. I have a boat with carpet now, the 1st ever, it has it's advantages and disadvantages, I like it though, just a booger to keep clean!

Yes, a cover is coming soon. We have a guy that makes tarps, and other things for us that we use on semi trailers and he is going to make me a towable tarp for my boat.

Not sure about those those ringneck doves doves being unprotected . they.at one time were included in the daily bag limit during dove season.

The absolutely should not be included. The season is for Mourning and White winged Doves. I will find out for certain and update the thread.
