Kayak attack ?

[dan]

I just bought a 15 foot 85 pound canoe from Menards "crazy days sale" for $250

What made you decide to buy a canoe?

I assume to eliminate the need to take a second yak to get the deer out...

Correct... But, there are still some tight canals, ditches, and portages I need to use the kayak on if I hunt. So both will get use.

I was thinking of selling my inflatable raft with trolling motor mount and getting one of those kayaks. I just wear about sweating on early season rows. Dan can a deer fit in the kayak

No... I tow another kayak or rubber raft for retrieval.

Has anyone tried wrapping a pfd (or 2) around a deer to float it out? May be able to avoid hauling around a 2nd kayak or raft?

This can be done without a PFD. However, I assume using a yak cuts down on the drag a lot. Plus, I'm sure there is a fair amount of travel in skinny water which benefits keeping the load high and dry.

That's for sure a great way to make it a real adventure.
Here in France it's impossible (no public hunt...).
The USA offer so much possibility.
You all have a fantastic chance!

The Des Moines river was no joke. I drug my yak more than I paddled it. I've also witnessed that pirogue navigate some SE LA rapids!!!!

That was classic! the yak owned that round though, i was puckered up trying not to go swimming lol

Great info. Just one thought though. If the waters not too rough why bring in a 2nd kayak or even load the deer on the kayak. Even gutted deer in the fall are extremely bouyant, because of their hollow hair. I've pulled deer while wading accross rivers a few times. They only displace 2"-3" of water.

SWAMPBUCK, what kind of stand is that? Treewalker?

That is most certainly an Ol' Man climber.

Nice one. How much does it weigh?

[DaveT1963]

The hull weighs 80 pounds I think. But it is super stable and can float in 5 inches of water. Also can carry two hunters and gear

Is that a Nucanoe?

I have a cheap 2 person foot pump inflatable raft to tow behind my kayak if there is not enough room on it. I think it was $19 on amazon prime. Seems to do the trick and I can just leave it packed in the kayak when I don't need it.
