Sink Box Blinds illegal?

[trimmer21]

Legal in Canada. I do believe there is something about leaving something out in channels of navigable waters but not 100% sure on that, but the use of sinkboxes in Canada is legal.

IIRC,It's been a long time since I did any marine enforcement,but,I sure remember that leaving anything out in the water after dusk and before sunrise,unmarked,can be deemed an "obstruction to navigation" with severe penalties should there be a collision much the same as cottagers leaving floating rafts out overnight. Everything left out overnight must have it's own navigation light system visible at all times. Smart people tow them in when they're done using them.

I have hunted from a UFO layout boat on Chesapeake Bay and thought it was a well built and designed boat. Light enough that the guide could carry and handle two of them in his tender. I felt safe and comfortable in it.

When I returned I found a used Bankes Pumpkinseed, there were no UFOs available up here. Now Bankes has shut down production, hunters here are fortunate that UFO's are now being exported to Ontario.

I bought my boat from Tony 8 or 9 years ago. Been a great layout! Still dry as a bone and handles more chop than I'm comfortable with.
