    Anyone shoot ducks from a small boat/kayak?

    Thinking of getting a small inflatable boat or kayak for this duck season. I would have other uses for it too. Quite fancy quietly drifting down the river "stalking" ducks. Anyone do this? Worth it? I am aware of the F&G rules.

    yes many heaps of them....check regulations as most places its out for opening weekend...trick is to try to shoot over front...NOT out to the side unless you fancy trying an eskimo roll between barrels......a fat /wide boat is best....my 2 man kayak is perfect for me...and sometimes the dog...
