Spinning-wing Decoys:
- Use of mechanical or electric decoys with spinning wings/blade operated by other than wind are prohibited prior to Saturday, Dec. 1, 2001 in all hunting zones.
- Many of these decoys have a remote control to turn the wings on and off, therefore use is defined as a decoy that has an operational power source. For purposes of this regulation, such a decoy on water, on a pole, on shore or otherwise positioned to potentially attract waterfowl will be considered as being in use as an electronic/mechanical decoy unless the motor is disabled or removed, or the batteries or other power source is removed or the decoy is otherwise determined to be inoperable.
- This section does not apply to flying and landing decoys with fixed wings, decoys with flapping wings, decoys that dive, bob, swim, shake, quiver, or thrash the water.
