No persons shall take migratory game birds:

(c) From or by means, aid, or use of a sinkbox or any other type of
low floating device, having a depression affording the hunter a means of
concealment beneath the surface of the water;

Sinkboxes, from what I understand, are boxes in the middle of a lake that can be cranked down with a mechanism so that only a lip is above the water level. They are legal in Canada and for some reason I want to say in the Mississippi Sound.

Pit blinds, although much the same principle, are permanently buried in the ground in a field.

That is a good question and one I have often wondered about. I'm still not exactly sure why a pit is legal when a sinkbox is not. I think it has to do with the sinkbox being a floating device with which you can "submerge" your entire body. A layout boat is legal because you are not actually submerged. A pit is legal because you're buried, not submerged in a floating device. At least that's how I understand it.

What if the depth of your layout is say 10 inches and you put it in water that is 9 inches? Is that considered a sink box. I'm always scared to put my coffin blind in water like that, it could swamp in an instant. Anybody on here know if that's legal or not?

Ok what if you layout sinks down in the water and mud with a neotub? lol that is pretty close to being a sink box lol.
