Duck Hunting Safety Boat
If choosing a boat for duck hunting, safety is given the priority. It 'also chasing the entire concern principal. Everything is wrapped around the security technology, without it there is hunting for another day. I know it's difficult to get a boat when you could have, select one ever, and for this reason, you are not aware of water conditions in different seasons.
All this applies to the purchase of a boat. But there are some basic safetyConsiderations:
High levels before,
According to High sides
Select a third engine that has more than enough energy or switch to super disturbed (2-3 m). A boat, the wind conditions of the water, even if the exchange can handle all loads, Deeks, weapons, dogs, kids, etc. as duck boats motor How to go away, they give you low Brand: In my opinion, a 25HP engine would be for smaller 18ft boat we went to 16 and even then you must make sure that you are not weighing theDown with unnecessary gear.
My Excel 18ft boat with a 35 hp is the absolute minimum power mudbuddy combination of length and heavy weight of the boat, along with the low level, the lower parts. I recommend the smaller the boat, but with more sides. I would prefer a slightly smaller boat, but with maximum power. 16-14 ft with 35 hp is ideal in my opinion. Even with the weight of kids, the dog and the tools that are pushing the boat so it can fly better and rough seamove faster and with more control.
Minimum safety standards: READ THE BOOK Coast Guard safety …. over and over again. Do not go back to the buoy – the right red, go green (the sea )…. Do not assume anything. I was on the Petaluma River several weeks in the fog. I am very aware that these conditions …. but who wants to park in almost hit a big sailboat in the middle of the channel at night, in fog without lights on the ship …. Who? I think it's because I lost, save the life oftwo boys on the boat and continued to drive (a rather gloomy, but I'm not going).
Always wear safety jackets. I always wear during transport. There are times when I wear it at hunting, but its super flat (as I am kicking mud shallow). Normally, each time I moved the boat everyone has the obligation to wear a safety jacket … you'll see in my videos. Is not nuthin Sissy life hunting for the next day! Oh, and if you fall into the water with waders on youFacts are totally mesh security, and even then you need to go back to the boat quickly.
Push Pole: And 'out …. ship, your chances of getting injured or over by the boat suddenly comes to you in a race strong wind (while stuck in the mud to the knees) is excellent. Stay in the boat, because you have a push-pin, then the risk is lower.
Never in front of the boat or on foot coming out of the boat, while the propeller is engaged (engine speed).The boat can move quickly and directly, the base is bad, people come and spin in the direction you would not think are possible, but can not control. Do not cut your hunting partner!
Wait, are not just there! If you try to blast the mud … if you take a good water and the engine is Gang Busters, will sit on the deck rather suddenly …. or you and your partner do the hunting out of the boat. Nothing like a prop to remind the weakness of your flesh and bonesare compared with metals at high speed.
Naturally a good light on the front of the boat for sailing, in a hand to the location of objects.
Emergency Horn
GPS …. always wanted a GPS and could not find an excuse? Now you have one. high water, no fog, and night vision (shared in Napa at least) means meanders around and running into things, if you can not find where is the center of the channel. Trust me, I'm a GPS and with only a small amount of fogwhy throw all your points of reference normal in areas that are completely safe. And 'the certainty that indeed in trouble. Fog completely pipes depth perception when you can see something. This has happened many times myself. Unlike an airplane, I moved to the STOP study and the precise GPS Move-in segments and then monitored for the next point, which I believe should be. Then I patiently to stop the boat and take my time to study I focused and went tothe right channel or place to hunt. Even with a GPS, if you see at all, and it is pitch dark, I believe your opinion is trying like crazy to do something new. This is why not move more and be on one thing, my bearings.
Finally, guess', when dense fog that are not going to kill the birds in any case, just as well chill out and also to ensure that you are right (because of the fog finally clear) and only slightly . Go There is no reason to hurry.
Flares keep Stowaway from ignition sources. I have to reload.
Leaving the boat if you put in the mud and the boat moving in the direction (for you) Completely not turn over the water in his face. Wait till the boat for dear life on board and could pull out of the mud. If you flip around and face in water (which may be a temptation, if that swim away) the boat will roll right over. Do this with a good push-pin. I get goose bumps when I thinkon it because I happen to me while I'm by myself I was.
Night Sailing: always check before you scan the field with your light … The boats are out there at night without lights and motion, or parked DUH. Before dark objects in the water ahead. Do to others in the boat carefully. Never walk like people on their lights. Even if they do, the boat in front of you so that light can not be seen to be positioned.
Light Background: If backgroundLights on the shore (like a row of houses and distant lights of the city lights or company) are the light that is very difficult to identify, boats on the water, because their light only in conjunction with the rest of the lights. In the night while driving a boat, it's nothing like driving on the road. depth perception, lighting, perspective, everything is, so you must make sure hosed. There are lines in the river or at sea …. No one follows a path of half the time.
Carry extrareplace spark plugs and socket and key.
small tool kit.
Extinguishers – I once used to be me. Nothing is more frightening than a fire on the boat when in the open sea. There is nowhere, except from the boat when you can not get under control …. and that the gas tank …. darn People go … keep the gas tank in front of the boat and run the gas line to the engine. Or replace the battery in the front and the gas in the back! If my gas tank with my battery that caught fire,would have exploded immediately. Even the fumes are dangerous. These scenarios are real
Excellent battery
I use the Bass Pro Shops XPS charger that gun inside the box is screwed. The conditions of charger and the battery is maintained, confidence and cool. I have a deep cycle battery from Bass Pro Shops, which is too large, but never fails. I also have a trolling motor for off-season, so I went with a large battery. Extra water and aSome snack bars (one night is very long, because I have not read that table properly tides) and the last duck has really paid off. Well, these are the practical advice and the most important security that come to mind immediately.
