first of all for you younger hunters? what do you carry a knife for? I mean really, I read this all the time, cut the deer up and get it in your transport,,,, geesh,,,, who screws around with a whole deer.....
as for watercraft, I use a lot and have for many years...... I hunt a lot of water in the UP, and my best craft after years of using everything is my 10 foot Solo Discovery canoe,,,,, its amazing where I can go with this craft,,,, it was not cheap, and cost me at the time about 400.00 and is under 30lbs
today you can get custom canoes built, for about the same and the Cadot company in Wis builds then square stern for the 2hp motors, that are perfect for a lot of spots....
for me kayaks are a pia, but to each their own,,,, I have used some small jon boats in the 10 to 12 foot range, bought at rummage sales that are cached in the woods, in various spots
My friends son runs a 15 footer jon boat on the Wis River with a 15hp, and hunts a ton of public land, that no one from the road ever gets too,,,,
since I have few secrets in my older years, its my jon boat and 6hp that has served me well on the Iowa River, when I have drawn a tag,,,,,
