In this video, I go through my four different boats that I have - what I like and don't like about each one. Watch and see what boat is best for you.

    I run with guys like you and Daniel. Southern Red Neck through and through! 20/72 Express with flats jack and 115 Yamaha. Had it LOADED with stands/bows/bucks/and blood many times! LOVE your content! Most FACTUAL channel on the tube. Your seminar video was SPOT on. Most hunters have no idea the difference between Midwest and Southeastern whitetails! TOTALLY different animals! "look up at you and RUN!!!"

    Jeremy,I've been hunting Public land for 42yrs and water accessing most of my hunts been using a 14ft jon boat for most but like last year they dropped the water futher than i have ever seen in Tn a raft or kayak would be the way to go on those situations.

    Thanks for sharing your boat setups. I use a 12 foot aluminum v hull with an 8 HP outboard for the majority of my hunts. It’s great for navigating rivers with low to mild current. It’s great to be able to drag my deer and drop them into the boat and take off. My other setup is a 10 foot sit on top kayak for small streams with low current, and when I know there are no boat landings available. Using a kayak is also quiet so it makes it easier to sneak into spots with little noise. The con would be weight capacity, low storage space and a potential for flipping.

    Lifelong resident of N.E. Arkansas, Delta region, flat ground. I hunt 💯 Public Land, WMA’s, all swamps. I use a Canoe 🛶 but does not have a Transit for a motor. I have been searching for a Canoe with a Transit for a small motor. The 3 WMA’s that I hunt consist of thousands upon thousands of acres, all bow hunting only, no Gun hunting allowed. 5 full months of season starting the last Saturday in September (regardless of date) through February 28th, no breaks. 6 Deer total but only 2 Bucks allowed for the entire season. Must have 3 points on one side to be legal. Blessed to have that much land to hunt, with Bow Hunting only allowed. The Canoe is extremely quiet but being 62 years old, paddling any distance is getting rougher. I will be running a Mud Motor if I find a big enough Canoe with a transit. Enjoy all your Videos. Top notch Channel. Keep it coming. Barry James Arkansas

    Cons When bow hunting oxbows in rivers with high river banks behind the oxbow the deer setup so the back draft from the opposite river bank side on a mid wind day alerts the bedded deer I’m paddling up or down the river. Some bedding areas are nearly bullet proof with a water approach and other areas that run straight N/S or W/E water access makes the difference. Bigger river systems you can get away with a lot more that smaller tighter skinny water situations I have found

    I have 20 ft seaark cc . Sold my 17 ft triton that looks kind of #1. I had a gehnoo and sold it as quickly as I could because it’s too tippy! I hated it! I would like another Jon only if it has a 4 stroke. Out of your arsenal boat 1 is the only one I personally would fool with! I believe a tunnel hull boat might be the ticket! One more thought is safety! I ran tiller motors for 30 + years on the water in the dark! When it’s cold your hands really get to stinging and the orientation of your body in the boat can make it difficult to spot dead heads. If you have a steering wheel at least both eyes are forward and my opinion much safer!

    I have an Old Towne single seater canoe. 11'9", 56 lbs, so it's easy to take on and off of my truck topper. Sit low like a kayak so it's real stable. Pretty tight for cargo room in front and back but I have had a buck and my deer cart in the front and my bow and pack in the back. Sits damn low fully loaded but gets it done it flat water. I mainly use it in small rivers and creeks but have used it on small lakes on a few occasions. Pretty tough for a morning hunt when the beaver are slapping their tails on the water at you all the way to your spot. 🦫
