What you fellers gonna be hunting out of this season?

[b.t.guardian07]

Post 'em up! Show your rigs. We will either be hunting out of our 14ft panther or our 14ft jon boat. Both have blinds but I think I will be trying to hunt away from the boat more this season.

Panther blind down


Panther blind up

Yes sir, finally got the motor situation figured out.

Got me thinking it's time to build a blind. I need a dog something fierce.

Same as the past few years!





Although, I am looking at picking up another boat soon. Possibly a 1756DBST made of .125 gauge aluminum, with a pad hull, hopefully with a 60hp 4 stroke Mercury on a 6" hydraulic plate, with a custom pirogue rack to carry my "real" hunting boats too and from the marsh. We'll see what happens though. Being on the West coast may seriously cause me some difficulties in procuring this rig. There are no dealers out here.

If that doesn't work I may have to pick up a 14-16' V hull with a 25hp to tide me over till I get back to the East coast.

That would look bad ass with dead ducks on the bow and the pirogue strapped on the side!

I have a pic somewhere just like that of my old Gator Trax when I lived down in Louisiana. Here's a similar one with Dirty Duck and my old Xpress.

Or a really old one of a few birds Tailchaser and I took from our marsh boats in South Carolina years ago when I was running my old Polar Kraft.

Look down at your feet and imagine them with a pair of wafer boots on.......

"FABULOUSSSSS"

[cajunwannabe]

18' mud boat inside a 24' ark to get as far away as I can..............and then go a little farther..........



in the 18' homemade mud rig to go a little farther than most would dare to go.



If all else fails, drag out the pirogues and hunt where most WON'T go.

Nothing looks quite as traditional as a Chapman pushing through the South Louisiana marsh!

Who's the Chapman? May be some long lost kin.

[Ring King]

Ron Chapman Shipwright is the manufacturer of the pirogue in the pic. They are by far the best in my opinion which is why I own three of them!

That 'rogue my buddy is in in the picture was a cheap loaner, looks like a Chapman but it's cheap chopper gun boat. We borrowed them a few times last season, they got the job done but by far Chapman's are the best out there and I own two of them.

Folks around here would be best suited with the Cottonmouth boat that Chapman makes. Carries a load, more stable, yet light enough to carry solo and can carry two people.

The Canebrake IMO is a crawfish boil, chill some beer and tiny Cajun boat, just too small for hunting. The Copperhead is my best (fastest) boat but at 22" across the floor it'll be way too narrow for the average SC hunter and hunting load.
