That is a stupid regulation, if you are on the water and there ain't anyone around who is going to hear you blow the whistle. Kind of like a tree falling in the forest, if no one is around does it make a noise when it hits the ground.
I have been fishing KS (including Toronto, Fall River, Big hill) for years, and have been checked a half dozen times, and have never heard of a whistle regulation. I was checked this year on Big Hill and was given a boat saftey inspection and passed with no whistle. I do know this much, you better have your stuff in order when you whitetail hunt. They will come to your stand and check you...been there!

To Whom Much Is Given, Much Is Required
You have to have a horn or a whistle on your boat when you are on any public lake or river. Lost mine on the way to toronto but the game warden gave me one when I was checked. Beagleman got a whistle too but they charged him $186.00 for it.

In our government-controlled schools we are taught that Lincoln was our greatest president because his war ended slavery and saved the Union. As usual, the other side of the story – the side that reflects poorly on the government – somehow gets lost. – Richard J. Maybury, The Abe Lincoln Hoax
Our Boat Has A Horn Factory Installed On Our Lowe Boat, Which I Think If I Had To Depend On It To Save My Life I Would Be Out Of Luck! My Inflatable Vest Has A Whistle On It, There Again If I Had To Depend On It To Save My Life, I Feel I Would Be Out Of Luck!
You Tell Me Who Is Going To Hear A Horn Or A Whistle Unless Your Less Than A Quarter Of A Mile Away? Wind, Waves, Trolling Motor And Maybe A Radio On, Or Even Without The Radio On I Have A Hard Time Hearing My Partner Or My Wife In The Back Seat!
Fact Is I Am Thinking About Getting A Flair Gun For Our Boat, Or One Of Those Canned Air Horns To Feel Safer.
Well they didnt give me anything and charged me $186 bucks guess he must have liked Beagles singing
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty ia a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." - Benjamin Franklin.

HEY when you doing Truman? I want to go! Just can't this weekend I am dusting off my golf clubs to play in a football fund raiser. Should be interesting, hope I don't hit anyone with a golf ball. Brings something to mind in golf FOUR means to look out a golf ball is coming your way. Why is there not a word like this for fishing??:D
