ok years ago we got a rubber raft from walmart for about 40.00 we couldnt afford a boat but hubby wanted to go fishing on the water. it is a 4 person raft so he fits good alone. well he got tired of paddling so he got a trolling motor. he looks funny out on big lakes in the raft but it works. i have known him to go 5 miles or farther in it. anyways. the boat we take out usually spun a rod so he thought ok i will get the old rubber raft out and go i said ok as long as you stay off red river. too many sink holes, wirlpools etc. so he went to millwood. he was fishing and cathcing and having fun when a game warden came up and asked for registation , tags , etc. well of course we never tagged it it is arubber raft. it gets a hole in it we replace it at walmart lol. why tag it. well he found out cuase he is using a trolling motor to get around that it has to be tagged. hubbys jaw dropped. well he stopped by the court house and figured ok i will tag it the people in the court hosue laughed at him and wanted to know how he planned on tagging it there is no numbers etc. they were lost too. poor hubby the boaters laugh at him, the court house, and even the game warden.

that's so funny. it's hard when people try to bust you on funny laws that don't really make sense and no one knows what to do but laugh it off.

That is funny. What now though? Can he still use the raft to fish? Does h have to go back to paddling? I have a pontoon boat I'll sell him. Just dont tell my husband.

I would not pay the ticket then. I would fight it. I would tell them what the people at the court house said and ask how it could be tagged. It sounds like a way to get money again.

how funny - if the law can't figure out how he is going to tag it, then how can they figure out to fine him? unless it is written in the law books that it is illegal to put a trolling motor on a raft - then they can not fine him for anything, since they refuse to tag it.

I hope he didn't have to pay the ticket. That's true, if the raft has no numbers how can you possibly tag it. Duh!!I think they should give him a "warning" and laugh the game warden out of court.
