Duck and goose hunting, moose hunting, incidental bear/deer hunting, and of course fishing. I have a light 14' paddler, and a 16' Frontiersman with a square stern. Paddling is a nice quiet way to get around, and so is an electric motor. A 2 -3 horse outboard will give you plenty of power, and a tank of gas seems to last forever. Not sure of the exact figure, but I know the weight carrying capacity of the Frontiersman is well over a 1000 lbs. Given the appropriate water in moose habitat, a canoe is an ideal hunting rig.
