Sunken duck blind

[judge jb]

good question doc... this law goes back to the market huntung days when almost all sink box's had a punt gun attached and overkills were tremendous.... just float up to a raft of ducks and lite the fuse......BOOOOM. more like a cannon with lead shot.....
maybe the pits advertised was to lift the blind in case of a flood or something... i thought they had to be permanent in the ground.... but i have never owned one.....

Sink boxes are legal in Canada. The server won't let me post a pdf photo but if anyone wants to see what they look like, send me your email address.

The following site is in French, but it shows photos of the sink box (the same ones as on my pdf file)

damn this thread is from 03. Teul, you're wrong that is a sinkbox, and yes they are legal in certain provinces. curtain blinds are legal in NC. Take a closer look at that photo, they are standing up in that box.

I was on the wall as to weather they were sitting or standing.
But there is more above water profile than you see in the pictures of old. So, It looked more like a layout boat to me.

At what point does a coffin or layout boat become a sink box? When more of it is under the water than is above? What was the reason they were outlawed ? Too much of advantage or dangerous for drowning hunters? Seems like the pit is just a sink box that is rigid in the ground.

I think they're generally defined by the amount of freeboard, but could be wrong.
