I don't own or use one, but if I did it would be called a "Concielment Pod" or better yet a "Flapper Coat", How about "Field Bag" . For now, rip off the logos and use a sharpie to rename um .

Ya, I gotta find a little humor in everything, helps take the stress outta life.

Captain,

Please keep digging and not dismiss this as a goose hunting method as a good number of ducks are taken in fields out of layout blinds. There is also the issue of coffin blinds which are typically set up in groups along the shore. These have been in use in CT for 100+ years?

Thanks again,
Scott

OK, here's what I got.....

For our purposes we are considering up to 6 hunters hunting together to be a hunting party. If you are together in a group of 6 or less, your layout blinds, coffin boxes, boat blind, layout boat, mud puddles where you are covering yourself with mud, burlap bag jackets, flapper coats or whatever would be considered a single blind - for waterfowl, so it doesn't matter goose or duck. Being in a single party of up to 6 will keep someone who is not a member of your party from crashing in and setting up on you. As they are not a member of your party their setup would be another blind and the 100 yard requirement would apply.

Unfortunately the term "blind" is not defined in the statutes or regulations anywhere. There are multiple references to blinds in the regulations, the most specific is the one I posted where it says "duck hunting blind".

Anyway - I hope this clarifies this for everyone. I apologize for any confusion, I was multi-tasking yesterday talking on the phone, trying to review a report and answer Scott's question all at the same time.

Skip,

Thanks for taking the time to clarify this. It is much appreciated!

Many thnaks for the clarification!!!
