I brought this up last year but im not sure if jeff actually did it yet. I was thinking a ol' diver type hunt. Such as layout boats and settin decoys in the lines like what we do around here. I no it would not a be a big thing to the foiles name but it would be neat. Seein the foiles team slay some divers that are basically like jets. What do yall think?

they should do one. not everyone hunts fields all the time, so it would be nice to see some water hunts

that would be cool, then they could add a diver call to the mix. {sounds like a hunt for FS6

There is some Foiles diver footage on one of the FA videos. Not sure which one though.

The Chasin the flight dvd has some great diver hunting in it.In fact it has everything you would want to see in a dvd and it is about 2 1/2 hours long.

ZInk boys took your advise and did it with blackduck outfitters here in MD

layout hunts are alot of fun....a few years back before they dropped the limit on bills I would take burlap and pine boughs and camo up my proline and sitt out in the middle of the bay few trashcans full of stringers it was a blast

If you never hunted out of a sneak box your missing half the fun. There's nothing like tucking in a log jam, all grassed up with your dog behind you under the dodger. Plus you get to have fun with a 13'8" boat topped with a 2 stroke 25horse yamaha.

You sure your hunting out of a true sneak box because pretty much everywhere sneekboxes, cutrain blinds and the liek are illegal.....great book to read about it all is Outlaw gunner one of my all time favorites.

Lax your talking about a Sinkbox. If you live in MD I am surprised your don't know what a Barnaget Bay Sneak Box is BBSB. It has a long deep tradition in gunning waterfowl all along the East Coast. When I am down my place in Chestertown I see them all over, hell I have 2 at my place that we use all winter.

This is a BBSB.

There are many styles in these boats but in the end it's all about being mobile and being able to hide well.

yeah caller i was thinking of sink boxes lol it was a long weekend....but the sink boxes are illegal they are basically a pit in the water the last place they were legal was in NC in 1930's if i recall right but the sneak boats are good to go...we use lay out boats more often and usually they tow them out with a work boat set them in the decoys then the work boat is anchored away from the rig kinda like a tender boat
