Run a rope thru the eye on the front of the boat push the boat away from the bank feed it some slack so the anchor hits the bottom then tie it off to a tree. Make sure you have another rope tied to a cleat for easy recovery if the anchor becomes snagged. now go forth and kill stuffs.
Doesn't hurt to put a hunter orange vest on your motor
We will burn that bridge when we get there

I got down with my climber on Wheeler a lot of years ago and found my boat parallel with the bank and 10 feet from any water. It was dark already and well after dark when I finally got it floating again. Heard the tow of barges go thru about 2 hours before dark and knew that was what caused it. From then on I dropped an anchor off the stern about 20 feet from shore and then locked the bow to a tree. No more issues.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Several times I came out to a almost sunk boat. Usually it was the big yachts that never let up pushing 5 foot wakes. If possible try to find a small creek flowing in to the river close to where you are wanting to hunt and pull your boat in it as far as you can and tie the off. About the only solution I ever found. This. I've hunted Demopolis for a long time and never had any issues on the Warrior side of the place. Were you on the Tombigbee side?
