Notice the word floating.

From a sink box or any other low floating device that conceals you beneath the surface of the water.

seems stupid to me, it's gonna fill with water. plus it leaves another piece of trash permanently embedded in the landscape. also, what happens when a boat gets torn apart when it rips across the top of it?

Most waterfowl hunting here is done from permanent blinds. That is the only way you can legally hunt and the blind has to be registered, has to be 500 yards from any other blind. Basically the shoals/shallow areas here look like a grid of blinds 500 yards apart. All hunting has to be done from licensed blinds


There are 125 boat blind license, in a county that has about 35,000 residents and once you get one it's yours until you give it up or die. So they're not given out very often and when one is up for grabs, there's usually 100 applications for it.


As far as filling with water, they make buckets while you sleep. They are intentionally filled when not being used.

that sounds shitty, where is this at?

Dare County, NC

Other parts of NC, VA and MD have similar laws as well. Some people think it sucks, others, like myself think it's great. I'm fortunate enough to have three good/decent blind locations and a float blind license.

well i guess if it works for you then that's good...i like a little more freedom and less licensing personally.
