gosh im with your son and daughter.... I work 60 hour weeks for the last 7 years and still hunt at least 2 days a week during the season. Come Feb 1, Im usually a wooped wooped puppy. Its pretty awful actually. One day I hope to have that kind of time and be able to get that mad at em. This looks like the life to me, good for you sir to be doing that at your age!
Ya ill be real honest, my yak is a lot of walk in style hunting, and its RARE I ever use an oar. I run the my mudrig as far in as I possibly can until I cant. Thats when I get to very walkable waters and I just load up the yak and walk it, put my spud poles down, set up the dog stand and hunt. If theres deep water, Im using a motor. I can get the dog, dog stand, 2 dozen decoys, splashers, my 2 spud poles, gun, box of shells and coffee in VERY easily. Its amazing how light and how easy it is to maneuver a kayak in just 6" of water with this kind of a load.
