As I stated in another forum thread, this is the stupidest thing that I have ever heard of in 30 plus years of waterfowling. I know that I moved up from Virginia five years ago and people call us southerners dumb - this takes ignorance to a new level. Instead of officers enforcing such an idiotic law, they should strike it from the regulation immediately! Not only are layout blinds the number one preferred method of field hunting ducks and geese, they are the safest. I like the control that exists over the whole situation by having my party hunting together in layout blinds. What's the difference between hunting in layout blinds in a field and guys hunting out of the same boat?? Not a lot of common sense on this one fellas!
