Agree the Johnson/Evinrude 3-4 HP with weedless props are great for hunting small waters. And with two cylinders they troll much more smoothly than a one-lunger. My favourite is a 1966 Folding Ducktwin.

I tried using the install link on my iPhone. I get a rapidly scrolling video and at the bottom there is a message saying the feature requires accessing the site using the built-in Safari browser. So I guess the app is just for Android devices?

I have a 15'4" Gheenoe Hi-Sider which I used to run with a 6.5 HP Go-Devil. Very stable. Also had 14' and 16' Scott Duckboats which were basically square stern canoes with a copy of the Gheenoe bottom, also very stable. I don't think an aluminum Gheenoe would save much weight, and I doubt...

I didn't get the email. I tried to enter the site today and when I couldn't log in I selected "Forgot My Password" and followed the link in the email that was triggered. Set a new password and voila I am able to access the new site. I am really impressed by the new site - nice work Eric!

I used a 15'4" Gheenoe HiSider with a 6.5 HP Go-Devil for several years until I acquired a 14' TDB Classic , which now has the Go-Devil. The Gheenoe worked well in our club's marsh, though I never made a blind for it and hunted from the shoreline instead. With the TDB grassed up I can hunt...

Looks similar to the "Monitor Marsh Boat" (also called the "Green Bay boat" from WI that George Bird Grinnell described in American Duck Shooting

I hunted ducks a few times at Remington Farms/Chesapeake Farms in the 90's when goose hunting was suspended, although lots of geese still came in to the sanctuary pond. Came back a few times in the 2000's when the limit was restored to 2 geese order to extend our season after our freeze-up in...

Thanks Worth, Small world! I think I have seen other videos of his operation. Looks like a lot more work than a layout boat! FWIW I am sharing a picture of plans for a sink box from a 1943 book published in Montreal "Making Small Boats and Canoes"

There are guides in Quebec who offer sink box hunting https://www.domainelacstpierre.com/hunting.html https://wildfowlcountryguideservice.yolasite.com/ Good video embedded in wildfowl country page

I have been using Rex Specs on my Toller for several years because when she is pheasant hunting she hunts ground scent relentlessly. She would come back with raw areas under her eyes and I knew it would be just a matter of time before she had an eye injury. My first Toller injured his eyes...

Thanks for sharing that link Eric. It underscores the comments from the local guides who took the licensing process seriously and saw it as a challenge.

I hunted as a non-resident Canadian this month with an outfitter in Manitoba. This topic came up one night. One issue that doesn't seem to have been mentioned in this thread is American guides/outfitters coming to Manitoba and guiding illegally while posing as freelancers. This really ticks off...

Our Toller breeder has given us the same advice for years - don't spay or neuter before 2 yr to allow full bone/joint development

There are lots of good points in the comments above. FWIW I shot a Browning Gold Hunter 3 1/2" until it turned into a single shot in freezing temperatures on a guided hunt on the Potomac. Guide recommended Benellis and I picked up a Super Vinci 3 1/2" a little later. I liked the synthetic...
