I can hunt with a xbow on Wheeler using a canoe to get about 45 minutes into the back areas, will have the wind from the N to my left with a creek to my back. Max range 40 yds.

OR

I can paddle the opposite direction the same distance and use a rifle but bucks only. I can set up watching across several islands and possibly get one after he crosses to the main land. Would be about an 80-100 yard shot.

Suggestion? Which one would you try and why?

I’m not sure. Flip a coin. But reading all that sure makes me appreciate walking 100 yards to a box stand on private land.

Guess it really depends if you want to limit your kill to bucks only or does/bucks and which area your more confident in.

Not familiar with those waters but we've had good bit of rain, may need a trolling motor

I always pick Wheeler over TVA, but you have more boat power than me grin I'm just walking in when I get to go. I think Daniel and I are going to try Wheeler out on Friday, hoping my go to spot isn't under water.

Hope you get some meat!

All you can do is try - I've got extra canoes if you want to try it. I'm not working at larry's anymore so time to hunt isn't a problem. Age, aches, pains, ect yes, but not time.

I have a 60lb thrust trolling motor but rarely use it. Just easier to paddle plus the weight of the battery and side lean with the motor tends to make a canoe unstable.

I've got a Kayak but I've found its too time consuming to get to where I want to go
with current/tide/wind.

I'm worn out just thinking about those two options. God bless you guys that still have the energy !

I have a small gel deep cycle battery I bought off ebay that has really come in handy. It weighs less than 10lb

Sounds interesting - hauling a deep cycle marine battery in a canoe is not fun. Would appreciate some more info on it.
