What poundage do you recommend for taking canoes?  How big is a trophy canoe?  Should you marinate it before you eat it?

Kyle
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Good luck to Ya'll Ed.Sounds like a cool way to hunt.We used to shoot squirrels with the .22 poleing a pirouge(cajun canoe)down the bayous and slews.

Hunting from a canoe is really a great experience. Have fun and remember to watch out that your bottom limb doesn't hit the gunnel when you shoot.     ....     :D

I can! Canoe?

Happy Huntin'!

Ron---it sure makes a helluva sound....kinda sends out a warning signal to the whole swamp......It still amazes me how (some of) the deer sometimes 'pause' for a brief second or two..seems to catch them slightly off guard--hopefully long enough to get one in the air..

Who make the canoe in your pic???  It looks sweet.

           

                 Good luck hunting,

                        Mark

Do you shoot from a seated or a standing position?  If seated, any reason you couldn't shoot out of an open cockpit kayak.  I'd guess you have to severely cant the bow(nearly horizontal...

[Mark Fedrizzi]

Steve - I try to kneel as much as possible--gives me a pretty good platform and gets me above the sides a lot better...The shorter the bow the better...I am carrying a 56" longbow..

Good luck guys!! That actually sounds like a plan to me also.....might wait till Sat I,m not sure but the creek went up 3' from last Sat to last Sun and it,s been raining steady since.Almost crapped myself last Sun when I was sliding off the edge of the bank and running out of boot in the dark.Had ta use my LB as a stick to help pull myself up and out.....on to plan B lol

Nock em dead!!

What body of water are you guys floating? River, lake, creek? I've done the river runnin', its a blast, and some deer can be had this way!
make sure the canoe is a stable one with a wide bottom and a good keel!

[Tom Leemans]

I miss those early mornings on glassy water, steam rising..... I used to use my canoe to get to my favorite duck hunting waters. I gotta get another canoe.

[southpawshooter]

Good Luck fellas, I'm sure you'll do well.

Curt,

Arrowed a nice fat doe on Saturday.

[Peckerwood]

Scott, were you using a 2 or 3 blade head?   :rolleyes:  
Congrats on the doe!

Bill

[Huntrdfk]

Scott D.-- we are hunting a creek bottom that runs through swamp, fields and hardwoods....it is about a 3 mile stretch with minimal houses which is a lot to say for considering it is about 70 miles NW of New York City....

Bill W..--I beleive Scott was using a 3 blade that ended up a 2 blade    (inside joke)
