Sorry did not get back on here sooner Willet, been digging out from last weeks storm still and now it is very, very cold up here and my lab finally had her pups Monday!!!!!
Anyway, yes we have hunting out them both as a layout and sitting up. Cutt Down uses camo flex limbs on his for both, only three or four will hide the boat, sorry I don't have pictures of it, but I will see if Cutt Down has any.
In the smaller boats we just use a folding turkey seat, sit down in the bottom using one of the adustable seat pans to act as a back rest for the turkey seat and then use the zipper cover like a layout door to cover up. It work very well in just about any conditions. I have a picture from the marsh hunt in Oct in WI, but it was really rainy and foggy that day, so you can't see much in the picture. We will be doing another show in a week or so, we will take some more pictures of guys in the boat at the show and post them up.
Dog can hunt out of boat if sitting up or behind or in front of you under cover if laying out. We hunting in MS in January with Bubba's dog Harley in the timber, we were mostly standing by the Cypress trees to hunt, Harley just sat on the nose of the boat by a tree, it was pretty easy to get him up on the nose after retrieves, the Gator Grip finish made is easy for him to get a grip and pull himself up with just a gentle lift on his colar/vest. He sat up there all day, no problem. I did hunt out of the boat in one area in the trees were the bottom was really soft and waist deep, just pulled the boat up under a tree at the edge of the hole and sat down, Harley sitting on the nose, birds never picked the boat out, just looked like a log laying by the trees.
Will get you the pictures you requested as soon as it warms up up here.
Thanks again for the questions and comments.
