Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Does anyone use a canoe when they hunt?

Yup.... I canoe hunt for moose here in the Yukon as a preferred method. Either the old Tripper or the Scott 21 foot with a Surface Drive motor from Louisiana. Great shallow water rig and the lawn mower sound doesn't seem to worry moose too much. Here is our October results with both the Scott and the Old Town Tripper in the background. Extra style points with the 348 Winchester Model 71 used to dump the moose where he stood.



You can see the Surface drive here and the Model 71. We brought the Tripper in the Scott to portage into some connector Lakes that see little traffic but we saw Mr. Moose on the way. The Big Scott will carry two moose and has been a great boat over the last 16 years. I used to use a Honda 4 stroke but the surface drive opens up more country and allows me to jump beaver dams.




The first 10 seconds of this video explains the ability of the canoe and motor combo better than words can I think. Sort of an All Terrain vehicle for small streams through big rivers and lakes.
