Kayak Hunting - New for Me - Updated Pics

[John146]

Went out in the kayak again this afternoon and ground hunted near a water oak that was dropping a few acorns. There was one set of buck tracks on it and it is bucks only right now so I was hoping he would come in. It was a beautiful afternoon because some cooler weather moved in and I was sure enjoying myself. I was hunting right next to the bayou so I listened to bass and garfish feeding, squirrels barking and had quite the lightning bug show right at dark. No deer showed but an awesome afternoon hunt! Sorry no pics. I was in hunting mode and totally forgot to take some more pictures.

Tenbrook, I am shooting a Bob Lee Takedown Recurve - 58" - 55# @ 28".

Kip - I would love to do a trip like that! I know the area your talking about but have never been. I am in Cecilia so that's not far at all. Let me know when you want to go.

hummer - I will try to get some pics of the kayak and post them.

A couple of guys were wondering how I had things set up in the kayak so I took a couple of pics so you could see how this model handles my hunting stuff. This is my first time but everything seem to ride great. Nothing in my way as I was paddling. This model is a Perception Pescador 12'. About $500.
I have my bow bungeed on the front. My life jacket is on the floor with my fanny pack on top which keeps the back of the bow level. The back compartment on this kayak is just right for my ground hunting seat and a small ice chest of drinks. I plugged both holes in the back compartment so no water could come in and wet my seat. All the holes in the sitting compartment are aslo plugged.

Kip, That's some great pictures. I like that hammock you got rigged up to sleep in. What brand is that? That Old Town canoe is really nice.Hope we can make the trip in Dec/Jan.

Todd forgot this one. Jumgle hammock but not real military but has lasted many years on canoe trips.
   
I think I was cooking supper after paddling and hunting all day.
