Public land doe takes a canoe ride

[CHRIS WILSON]

After working the weekend, I decided to drop the canoe in this morning and hunt a new public land spot I'd scouted a few weeks back. Ended up being a good morning and a good spot. The morning started off slow, seeing nothing but squirrels and having a couple of dogs wander thru early. Was beginning to wonder if the spot was worth the effort. Then about 08:45, things picked up. Ended up having three does and two bucks come thru within 30-45 minutes. One doe decided to stop and gave me a text book quartering away pose at 13 yards. Needless to say....she won a free canoe ride back to the boat ramp. First deer of the season in the books. Life is good.

Nope, just paddle power. I have thought about the trolling motor thing. Don't know if I want to go through the trouble of having to register it though.
