Most hunters use smaller, more easily transportable craft like johnboats, bassboats or canoes.
Some boat designs are not as stable as others. These types, because of their flat bottoms or narrow beams, are more probe to swamping or capsizing. Never cross large bodies of water during rough weather. Stay with your boat if you capsize and can't get to shore. Avoid standing up or moving around in the boat.
