I have loaded a silly amount of kayaks that way. Shop I used to work at was next to a dollar tree. I'd sell folks 2 cheap ratchets, and tell them to run and grab two pool noodles and meet me behind the store.
probably seen some of y’all on the rides. I made a couple back in the day.
Yes onion island
It all depends on your exhaust. I've had gotten out of my boat and jumped deer only 40 yards from the creek
Also, my experience is that deer and hogs worry about boat motors about as much as they worry about highway traffic and airplanes.
Trolling motor brother. Trolling motor.
Nice. The ole "drive-by". I've killed lots of small game and waterfowl by walking with purpose at a tangent to them. As long as they think you're just passing through, they'll stay put.
That's weird. What about duckies?
Have killed a bunch of deer this way (hence the avatar). Often they'll just lay on the bank in the thick grass as you float by. It works best up here after the snow knocks down the bank grass some. It's almost like they don't expect trouble from the water. Maybe its because they lay there and watch paddlers go by without incident all summer. We also will do small one man drives of the flats where the river bends. Drop a guy upstream where the river leaves the high bank and float around until you get back to the high bank. Once set up the up stream guy still hunts through. Either he gets a shot or bumps them by the downstream guy.
Hey man, are you some sort of outboard savant? Ya nailed it. The impeller and housing were roached. It had less than 5hrs run time on it but 3 years old. I guess low use kills them.
I did a full tune up and now it runs like a Swiss watch right to the big walleye spot.
Currently, I’m in the process of clearing 10” of snow out of her from last night...
