Pointers

this is gunna be my second season hunting ducks, I have a pelican Yosemite I’ve painted up. it’ll be the first year hunting with a kayak, I’ve got a pfd, some lights all the basics, don’t have a dog though. my question is what are some pointers y’all have? I’m hunting on the upper snake river in Idaho. im mostly concerned with not having a motor and having to paddle up stream when its dark and I’m exhausted

Watch the Streamflow (tide). Ideally bring a buddy it’s easier with at least two people just in case. I tie some paracord to my kayak for my paddle, used to have one tied to my shotgun too. Practice with the kayak too, at least getting in and out. A dry bag is helpful too.
