Besides, when you start swinging the shovel in huge 360 arcs over your head, and screaming at no one in particular, you'll get the entire clam bed to yourself!

Pointing a clam gun at someone just dosn't have the same effect.



OBFunnStory - When I was a student in the School of Fisheries, we would visit the razor clam beds of OceanShores with the WDFW. When we showed up in a Game Dept Vehicle, people would flee like there was no tomorrow. We would end up with miles of beach by ourselves!

ObNotSoFunny - The warden at the time said razor clamming was their worse assigned job. Apparently more people poach, or risk poaching for those stupid clams than most fisheries combined. That was a few years back, and so I have no idea what is like today.

When you can go to AK and get 45 7-9" razors in 10 minutes, all else seems silly.
