Bottom picture - new high dollar [rattlecan] paintjob , seat in middle of boat , 2.5hp yamaha 4stroke , it has become my favorite , sips gas , very quiet and weighs 37lbs. .
I can sit on the side of the boat lift legs/feet out of the water and can't tip the boat over, the black rub rail will be 3'' above water , I weight 205lbs. .
Blackwater river - santa rosa & okaloosa county FL. , logs jams - stumps everywhere , boat has to be towed through shallow spots so I have the place to myself .

Nice. What are you out there hunting with that 221? Any bullfrogs or do the snakes and gators get them all?

Squirrel hunting?

Hunting deer/hogs/predators/crows , small game too CZ 22lr suppressed always goes . 221FB 55gr. gameking @ 2950fps or 45gr. tsx @ 3300fps will kill a lot of critters inside 150 yards - most shots 1/2 or 1/3 that distance .

Not many frogs - correct to many snakes gators huge fish .

I never could figure out what made the huge splashes at night until I saw a 5'-6' alligator gar launch out of the water with a 3-4lb. fish in its mouth . Big Stripers hunt the riffle waters at night too .
Be laying there in the hammock before bed or in bed in the tent and BALOOOSH - sounds like something must have been throw from a plane . Damn sure nowhere you'd want to take a late night swim .
And there's critters that squall out late at night - wake me up wondering what in hades was that .

One night upstream of this spot near Coldwater Creek I dozed off in the hammock - full moon night - something ran right down the side of the hammock - big swamp rabbit then two coyotes ran right past me on each side of the hammock . That'll wake you up . I cussed them all out .
