Jim Kerrick, Safety Officer for the state Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, offers the following tips for hunters who will be utilizing small boats as floating ‘blinds’ and for passage to shore to a stationary ‘blind’ during the 1977 waterfowl hunting season:

If the boat is propelled by any type of machinery, it must be registered with the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, Richmond, Virginia.

There must be a U.S. Coast Guard approved life saving device on board for each person, and it is recommended that all hunters wear a life saving device. Winter weather and heavy clothing make a fall overboard much more dangerous than it would be in warmer months.

For the duck hunter who goes to his duck ‘blind’ prior to daylight hours or returns after dark, running lights must be displayed.
