As far as hauling items on an SOT, we tow a sled behind both yaks. I hardly know it's there. As long as you keep the tether reasonably short it tracks pretty well. It's also great for picking up decoys when done
No matter how high a duck flies a hammer still breaks a window.

The sides, front, and back all roll up snug to the metal frame for travel. This will be my first season using this blind set up. I have fished out of the kayak for three years, so the boat is familiar but the blind not so much. I still have not decided a preferred method of bird retrieval. I do not have a dog and do not want to move the boat with the blind deployed every time I shoot something. I might bring a short fishing rod with braid and a large treble hook. I am also on the look out for a 45lb +/- water dog.

might as well take advantage of the thread, my Native Ultimate 12 in camo is for sale. It's the latest 2nd gen version, boat is mint n modded to roll legal with running lights. It's a duck slaying yak.
Was $1299 plus $80 to have it shipped from Austin Yak in 2014. first $675 gets it, a steal. Includes hull, paddle, class 3 seat, legal running lights, misc hardware kit.
Not looking for pity, but severe diabetes and recent diagnosis of advanced cancer has me unloading tons of gear so my wife isn't burdened with 2 bedrooms filedl with hunting/fishing crap when that day comes.

I have a lot of fun camoing my rig. Every year I add more, also lose some on the road. I weave/tie it on. This year I added it to the motor.

I have had an old town sportsmaster canoe since 2015. It’s about 650 ish from academy. Holds a ton of weight, I had mysefl and the two guys in the picture in it along with a dog and decoys and other gear. It can take a trolling motor or small outboard or mud motor, I have a 6.5 longtail kit on mine. It also paddles easily as well. And it’s light enough to load in the bed of the truck by yourself. It’s killed a lot of ducks and caught a ton of fish. Well worth the money. And it’s extremely stable. I have front and back decks on it now and i regularly fish out of it with 3 people, one poling on the back, one casting off the front deck and the other sitting in the middle seat. I really like your rig.

^^^^ thanks. I use it more for fly fishing the wayyy back parts of the marsh now than I do for duck hunting. But it’s a fun little rig.

We have a harbor freight trailer we modified to fit all our gear and two kayaks. Works great.
