Once I get a new truck and throw a slide in camper in the bed I'm thinking a NCH and MI hunt with Dan and possible the guns might be in the works.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams

No. Too predictable. We set up in field A and I can predict the geese won't come into field A

Found a little John boat. Might be rolling a duck boat by October if the guy will come down in price.

He wants $700 for the damn thing. He thinks $300 is a low baller. Thing doesn't even have a motor. It's only a 14' or 16', one of the two. Plus the amount of painting I'd need to Do. And it has no trailer. Buncha penny pinchers.

Yup, way high. I had a 12' with trailer and motor a couple years back. Think I paid $400 for it, course I got 4 bundles of fast grass and about 5 dozen decoys with it. Sold the boat for $650 when I left Michigan, would've kept it if I could a strapped it to my wife's Alero...

This was pre-Jefferson Machine era, nobody was ready for such an operation.

I've actually seen a Honda civic with a receiver hitch welded to the gas tank before. Someone is/was that stupid. No way that person is still alive.

I really don't even need a trailer. Something that I can just load up in the back of the truck would be sufficient for my needs.

That's what I wanted as well, just had the right deal fall into my lap, couldn't pass it up. I still need about a 10' puddle jumper to throw in the bed of the truck.

I just need a boat where 1 guy can haul in everything to these honey hole spots that would normally take 3 hours to wade in.

9' Jon boat. My cousin has or and he uses it at the managed areas here. Usually just pulls it like a big jet sled. Hell of a lot better than packing it all in.

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven." Such is the rule of honor.

Not only is that a no, that's a hell would have to freeze over before I considered that no.

Pretty simple solution: Apply more corn.

It's difficult to jump shoot out of a canoe or a kayak. Believe me, I've tried it.

Get a wide canoe. The one I have I can climb back in over the side without flipping. Could stand up and shoot all day if I wanted to.
