Anybody here tried fowlin' from a float tube. My tube is camo, and was thinking about giving that a shot if I can find the right place to blend in with the cover. Sounds like a ton of fun.

If you can miss them from a blind, I see no reason why you couldn't miss them from a float tube.:zrazzing:

I've heard of guys doing it but I believe they said that shooting if the toughest part to get used to. Another thing,you would have to have a little deeper water than with just waders. Also,I think it would be very tough to use a dog hunting out of one, which would make retrieving birds more difficult being in the deeper water.
