Anybody here go out in a canoe with their bow? I used to bow fish on the local river with mine. But my canoe is gone now.

From a story in BOWHUNTER mag a few years ago.  BIG CITY BOWFISHUNG.  Also use a smaller canoe for bowhunting ducks.

Louisiana has a narrow corridor between a bayou and Interstate 49.Not wanting for stray bullets to kill the travelers they made it a bow only reserve for hogs and deer.I took a very hot August trip with my two nephews to scout and in January I made a solo overnite camping and hunting trip.Plenty of sign but no shot but I will be back.

Hot and tired.

Camping and hunting.

I just recently got a Kayak and can tell you its gonna be fun. One of my honey holes is a little over two miles from the road. I can drive to the otherside of the river and cross with the yak and walk 200 yards.RC

Love those pictures Ron!

Great pictures guys!

Here are a few other scounting trip pics.These cypress trees were cut maybe 75-100 years ago.It is an 8' paddle with about two feet past the paddle.We saw many like this.If this bayou could talk.

Frog took a ride.

I shot my first deer with a bow out of canoe, it was with a wheelie bow, but I would not hesitate to shoot my shorter bows kneeling in the canoe.  I have used a small kayak, but I don't think I could have brought out any game bigger than a turkey in it (here in Maine we have to bring out the whole deer, can't quarter it).

I much prefer a canoe to a kayak, especially for hunting.  Can you imagine Ron trying to take out his deer using a kayak?  I have duck hunted many times from a canoe, usually with a retriever-try that in a kayak.  Getting into and out of a canoe is also much easier.

Ils son par tie. Dig canoes! Evidently Ron too. Always cool pix Ron especially the birch bark.

Canoe or kayak they are both great ways to get to less hunted areas undetected.Canoe seems like it would definately be easier to get an animal out of the woods.

A great tool to futher expand the experience. I would like to get a Kayak, I think it would be more effecient (faster). Although in my canoe I have a lone wolf climber, and other gear, great for extra room.

Great picts!  I have not canoed back to my favorite spot.  This is getting me fired up to scout it a bit and get ready for Oct..  Keep em coming!

Love to hunt from canoes.  Do a lot of duck jump shooting from canoes.  Also use them to get into  hard to reach bow hunting areas.  Used one to get a deer out a few years ago.  I build and use wood and canvas canoes.  Nothing better, IMO.

At present this Native Ultimate 12 is my go-to paddler, but have and had other kayaks and pirogues.


Hey Kip, nice pics!
