About this time every year my mind begins to shift to hunting season. Makes for a loooong summer, but whatever.
I'm playing with the idea of getting some sort of portable marsh boat/kayak/canoe for duck hunting. Maybe I'd get gumptious and put a tiller trolling motor on it, but likely just a push pole or paddles. Something I can throw a dog and bag of decoys in and just mosey across a pond do the side where all the birds want to be.
Since I rarely hunt water when you can drop a trailer, it would need to be portage-able. I have a few waters in mind where it's a short drag to the edge, and with my topper I'd likely travel with it strapped to the top of the truck.
Anyway, advise on what to look for? A buddy of mine uses a canoe and that works just fine for him. But stability isn't the best. I wouldn't mind something with a bit winder footprint just to be on the safe side.
