Dan J.'s comment about jet boats and canoes reminded me of something:
Anybody here ever taken a deer from a boat? Our GA hunting regs allow it if the boat is not currently under power, and it may be a change of pace for me to try this upcoming season.
A few times this summer, and many times over the years, I've been minding the water, casting off an island or shoreline (Corps of Engineers property), only to be interupted by a deer or two. They seem to be far less sensitive to human presence on a nearby boat. Just a couple of weeks ago, a doe completely ignored me while I trolled and casted about 50 yards from her as she grazed in the woods near the water.
A friend and I just went in together on the purchase of a canoe (a Coleman "Scanoe"), and I'm thinking about a couple of fall days where I might throw the 30-30 in the bottom of the canoe, along with a rod and reel.
Best of both worlds?
