Something Hunting Related This Summer.

The last couple days I have been experimenting with my fear of duck boats. As you all remember I once created the finest duck boat to ever grace the water of North Idaho.  Then I sold it because I was afraid.  Then Clider bought a boat and immediately made mine look pedestrian.  Well now I think I may be in the market for a boat of a different kind.

Last year not only was I jealous of the sheer totals that The Expert put up, but also of some of the places he was able to hunt.  When Clider did post, which wasn't often, you could count on at least one photo of some awesome place he reached by virtue of his sit on top kayak.  I certainly didn't want to try it in the middle of frozen water wader flooding death season, but now it's 95 degrees out and the lakes and rivers are totally swim-able. So yesterday I borrowed his other boat.

I like it. For 2 days I've been plying the waters of Killarney and Anderson lake trying to see if I'd feel more comfortable moving at the speed of Nanny and Grampy.  It seems stable and easy to maneuver but of course I'm not wearing 7 layers of clothing and deadly waders. I was able to climb into the boat from a floating position and I really had to rock and lean into the thing to fall out of it,  Hmmmmm? Today I cut some branches from our massive pussy-willow out front and brought the sprigs with me to plant some in front of The Point and The Blind. It's more likely they will become a snack for a moose or deer than grow into perfect duck blinds from which we can slay massive quantities of ducks.

So there you have it. Something hunting related this summer.
