Ah, a kindred spirit, hunting from a kayak. Rick, I have hunted from a kayak for many years, drifting creeks and rivers for ducks, jump shooting them. You are so right about how hard the shooting is, sitting in a kayak with your legs stretched out in front of you. You have very limited gun swing. For me, being right handed, it is from about 360 left to about 220. Very tough shooting, but very fun.

I have the advantage of a good current. I just drift, paddle in my right hand, sculling to hold the kayak in shooting position, gun in the left hand, safety off. When the ducks flush I drop the paddle, which is tied to my belt with a cord, and grab the gun with the right hand and bring it to mount as quickly as possible.

The snipe are a whole nuther ball game. Love your pictures.


May God bless America and those who defend her.
