Keep us updated.  I started walking with 40# pack this week.  I'm way late but I'll be good  Should be just about right for a deboned deer in our area.  

Good luck

I didn't read the entire thread, but if someone hasn't already suggested it, you might want to consider a canoe instead of a solo kayak.  Packing light, a solo kayak will get you in and out, but you expect to kill a critter, right? Be tough to get it and your gear out on a solo kayak. Good luck.  An excellent way to hunt.

I have an open tandem kayak, I can take the front seat out and pack my gear up front, with room for game if I got lucky. The kayak is 16'......

Hey Ron,

Go for it, my friend!  I have been trying to get up the nerve to do something similar.  I bought a hammock to try, but haven't tried it out yet.  And I have a Kelly Kettle to cook with.  Maybe I'll start out locally on some one night adventures!

Ron - If you decide to try the Buell Creek area and would like some company let me know. I haven't been in there for a few years and would love to go back.

That's unfortunate Ron.  I know you were looking forward to doing something like this.  Heal that knee up and make plans for next season.

MIssed you at the Muzzy, Ron. Was it the knee that kept you home? Good luck with the Doc. Keep us informed.
