I mostly deer hunt public grounds near a small river up here in MI, got my last few seconds of prep in last night and was back there at 5 AM this morning, already someone in "my" spot! The early man get the bag I rekon. Anyways, I'm thinkin bout takin the 12ft and floatin the river bout halfway through the public area and settin up a new spot. It's about a 60+ minute trip to get there by foot but I think I can do it with the trollin motor in about 15. Gonna try it out tomorrow, hopefully the wind will die down a bit too.
