canoes and bows

[chinook907]

That's a really neat picture creekwood !

Looks like I posted a canoe hunt earlier in this thread.  I also have a spot I hunt out of my 17' aluminum driftboat (McKenzie style).  Love rowing a driftboat on fast rivers, it's sort of the fly fishing of boating.  Here's a recent pic.

Anchor rope maybe that can be pulled up or dropped from the rear seat???

Awesome thread, Luv some of those old pics Ron . Piggy you would not want to sit on one of those hooks    i will try and dig a few pics up also .

That rope controls my front and rear anchor from the rear seat. I can drop single or double and drop double and slide canoe in between. I have a cleat to tie off both. One of my projects that actually works!

I've been wondering about the Beavertail Stealth 1200 and 2000 Duck boats -- especially for standing while bowfishing.

Here is Orion(member2759) in his homemade 12 1\\2 foot, 34" wide wood canoe. Hard to believe he is willing to let this canoe go.

I have 3 goals in the not-too-distant future. To build a cedar strip canoe, and wood and canvas canoe, and a birch bark canoe.

I used to duck hunt and fish from a canoe the same size as the one above this post. Highly maneuverable! I really miss it. I also used to drift pass many deer on my way to the duck blind, and it never seemed to bother them. They would usually just stand there and watch me go by.

Yep.  I use canoes a lot for jump shooting ducks.  I've floated by a lot of nick bucks bedded on the banks.  Never bow hunted deer this way, but I have no doubt it would be effective.

Orion your canoe is a beauty.

Orion beautiful canoe, and the deer looks pretty good too.

I have a restored 1954 Old Town wood and canvas canoe although never used it for hunting.
