    Kayak hunting

    I'm taking a course to learn how to Kayak today. Has any body out there ever hunted using a Kayak to get around? I am going up to the Queen Charlotte islands this year and i hope to Kayak into some cool hunting area's. Any ideas or info would be appreciated.
    thanks

    A water proofed, floating case (one that still floats when your gun is IN it) would be a good start.

    QCI deer are so small that you and your buddies can eat one in under a week!

    I kayaked around the QCI's when i was a teenager, for a month. Started a tthe top and went to the bottom, and back. Lots of fun, excellent fishing, but the hunting is ..so so..

    Depends on what Island you are on, and what you want to do. On most Islands that have deer, there is a good population, and not to hard to hunt. I wouldn't expect many 180 class deer,though
    Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!

    You can't get much lazier than that.

    That would be pretty cool to go hunting by kayak.

    Did a bunch of kayaking back in my college days. It is one of many hobbies that went the way of the wind when I got out of college and actually got a life. For hunting, they would definately get ya into hard to get to places with some ease. Packin' gear and meat is doable, but limited. A canoe would be a better option.

    I worked up in this area for several years a number of years ago. The deer hunting was easy but they were, well, small. 50 lbs (25kgs) dressed and boned, however you could shoot up to 10 a year back then.

    The Charlottes are beautiful and well worth paddling and hunting but I would consider separating your trips.

    As well, combine a bear hunt while you are up there. I saw some huge black bears while I was up there.
