We can shoot rails from the first of September through the middle of November. There are a couple of weeks when the season is concurrent with snipe season. I don't shoot soras once snipe season is open but I will take a couple beforehand while scouting. I most often shoot shallow, natural lakes but occasionally I will hunt a pasture with standing water. The boat was made by Blue Star. They were in business from 1950 until the early to mid 60's. It is currently primed and waiting for a new coat of paint that will be applied sometime in the next few days.
