The Perfect Boat for Hunting
Not everyone today considers hunting a respectable activity. However, it’s worth remembering: true enthusiasts of ethical hunting not only care for nature but also help replenish bird and animal populations by regulating species numbers when they grow dangerously high. Photo hunting, in particular, is gaining rapid popularity. In both cases, an inflatable rubber boat is a reliable companion.
Why do hunters choose inflatable boats?
Compact and lightweight models have long earned a strong reputation among hunters, as they:
- are convenient for transportation to hunting locations
- don’t interfere with camouflage
- are ideal for setting out decoys and retrieving trophies from the water
In addition to being lightweight and compact, a hunting boat must confidently pass through aquatic vegetation while moving as quietly as possible, ensuring a comfortable wait for game. Motors in hunting boats are used in moderation: hunting with a running engine is prohibited, but reaching the hunting spot is easiest with a motorboat.
When hunting geese, an inflatable boat helps access favorite resting spots like islets and sandbanks. It's also used for hunting beavers, muskrats, and nutrias — if permitted during the season. For photo hunters, the boat makes it possible to capture a variety of “trophies” on camera — from waterfowl to forest animals unsuspecting of danger from the water.
BARK models — the optimal choice for hunting
Hunters often choose BARK inflatable boats:
- Rowing boats with a motor mount for small engines. This is the ideal choice for those who want a motorized boat that remains light enough for rowing.
- Rowing boats without motors are popular among those hunting from shore or crossing water bodies. The BARK B-190 is in especially high demand — the lightest and most compact boat, helping overcome water obstacles.
For a smooth hunting experience, it’s important that BARK boats are resistant to abrasion and punctures from reeds, move silently, and offer full comfort for long waiting periods. If you prefer to shoot while standing, choose an inflatable boat with a floorboard. Slatted rowing boats with enough slats are an ideal option. Keep in mind that any inflatable boat you order can be customized with additional accessories.
By the way, if you order a camouflage-colored inflatable boat, it will greatly simplify the process of concealment while setting up a blind.
We hope that your BARK will become a reliable partner and make hunting truly comfortable and effective!
