Nice video and excellent set up...I first learned of using rivers to get into your hunting area in a Field & Stream hunting magazine when I was 12 in 72, back then in my state we were allowed to take deer from a boat...after getting out of the Marines I bought my first canoe kayaking still wasn't a thing back then...it takes a bit more planning...but that's part of the fun isn't it...

Adds a little adventure to my whitetail hunting. One of my favorite ways to do it!

Love having my boat to cut down on walk-in time, and getting away from people.

Would you be able to provide the links to the accessories you purchased like the gun / bow rack the more permanent solution to attach the trolling motor, or other accessories you think are necessary? I’ve decided to purchase the same kayak. Thanks and awesome video!

[@truthfromthestand9994]

It’s all on the nucanoe site.

[@tonyellis6383]

you mentioned hauling it in your truck, how do you go about that? To me, it seems a bed extender would be the way to go, but curious what you have done and what works.

[@truthfromthestand9994]

I just put it in diagonally and ratchet strap it down with two diagonal/crisscrossed straps.

[@jax9224]

I just put tailgate down and let it hang out a little and put a strap on it and I have never had any issue doing it that way. I guess if you had money that’s extra and don’t mind messing with an extension then go for it but I do not and if so there are way to many other things I want lol.

Always paid attention to the water access discussions on the podcast particularly bc I’m a PA dude that’s been doing same thing for years haha. Have used an Old Town Vapor 10 but looking at upgrading. I’m on the same page as far as length & weight preferences so I’m going to start researching this model. One question. Have you ever had an incident where you got a little sketched sitting a bit higher? bumping a stump or anything like that? I’m just used to sit in style.

[@truthfromthestand9994]

Yeah. I’ve definitely hit a stump or covered tree that was down. It’ll increase the heart rate. But was never worried about flipping. Boat is super stable.

@truthfromthestand How does the kayak do when it's loaded down with all your gear and a dear? Do you have to quarter the deer out in the field or is gutting it enough?

[@truthfromthestand9994]

Tight fit but manageable. Weight isn’t really the issue.
