Keith, it is rewarding when it is as tough as it is this year. Based on how saturated my cartridge bag is and the puddle in the bottom of the boat I was probably not too heartbroken when that day was over.

Brent, that little duck boat is only 12' and being a v-hull it moves along well with just a paddle. It was made by Blue Star. They went out of business in either the 50's or 60's. When hunting I don't even carry a trolling motor just so there are no issues should a wildlife officer see me shooting while the boat is moving.
