We took the Aqua Cow , our new Mad Max mud boat,out for a hunting trip. 

Good thing we reworked the trailer you can see theres not much water.

We where hunting an island in the shallow lake hoping to shoot some swans.There is not much cover on the island . We made a "garage" for the boat and waited.

And after a LONG wait we had one lone swan come close enough for a reasonable shot.
Even at that it was probably 60 yards.


It has a  seven foot one wing span and was five foot from bill ,foot .
The Duplex #2xBB steel  hit the mark, out of the 1100 winchester with a extra full, extended Hevi-shot choke. They drove pellets through the swans body , head,
 and broke both wings.
Interesting blind .?

 But when the ducks and geese came in low it seemed to work and let us slip in and out with out messing with it.
 we did get a few ducks and a goose but the swan was the targeted game.
The boat went through very shallow water,cat tails and,grass with little troubles. We did tag a few rocks with the skag but it worked like it should.

Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box

Shooting out of my jhon/duck boat is difficult.  I use to take it and sit is on the lawn at the local trap clum, then my brothers and I would shoot a few rounds of trap while sitting in it.  That really helps, except for wobble in the water.  Most of the places I still waterfowl hynt are marshes without any solid shore, so boat is all you get.

She is setting almost high and dry. There is almost no wobble when you move or shoot.

Shoot at ducks from boat all the time (not every time)....usually no wobble when "anchored" in position...usually jammed into the vegetation when available.  But lots of times just stand next to boat in the water..easier to shoot from yer hind legs the yer hind end
