[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 223170, member: 1485"] My boys are plenty comfy in boats. We've hunted out of canoes before and they've gone on plenty of kayak rides with me. I'd rather stay home than leave my dogs behind. That's just nuts. The key is portability. I'm from Minnetucky. I know what "they" do. I'm not going to jump roosts or whatever. There are PLENTY of transition sloughs prime for midday duck swats when the birds are coming off the fields and back to loaf. The idea is to get a little floater that allows me to tote along a dozen or so decoys, gun, blind bag, and dog. And I can toss on top of the truck or in a small trailer. I'm about as minimalist as it comes when hunting. The more I hunt, the less I bring. Ninety percent of my hunts last year consisted of a dozen decoys, a spinner, dogs, and what I could carry on my person. So I agree...no sense in making multiple trips. Waste of time and energy. What I really want a boat for is to get on some good diver hunting. I haven't killed a can in years, and it would be sweet to get in a mix of bills. Sometimes the best and most untapped duck hunting out there is divers, especially in this greenhead-obsessed state. Screw the mallards. I'll leave those to the nonresidents and duck snobs. Leave the "undesirables" to me. After all, takes one to know one!! ;) [/QUOTE]
