Wouldnt have been an issue this year but i forgot about it beings its my first year having one, when river ices over i push ice with the back of the boat to create a shooting hole
Buffleheads are the most common bird we get on the river, so when i put out the diver rig i make sure to include a couple dozen. The couple kids i take out love shooting at them. The decoys take most of the shots tho lol.
I love all the feed back im getting from you guys that have been hunting alot longer than i have, i started waterfowl about 5 years ago so im still learning all of this. I use my boat year round not just for hunting. The only break my equiptment gets is this next couple months before striper...
Usually its more organized, i just started putting the decoys away that have thawed out from the 6" of snow covered in 3" of ice, unfortunatly the strings froze to the bottom of the boat. Ill look for the picture from last season of how i set up for when the boat is in motion
Ice is back on the water, its been a year since i went swimming, but im not letting it keep me from doing what i enjoy most in life. Today happened to be chasing down the duck blind since the ice took it up river
