BilletHead Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 You got a good looking plate there Kayser. A nice medium rare to rare just like duck should be finished, well done young man!

Kayser Posted December 19, 2015 Author Posted December 19, 2015 Thanks BilletHead. I really owe it to my cast iron, though- it makes crispy duck pretty well. And I know what you're saying about the medium-rare, it starts to taste like liver and chew like leather past that. The orange-ginger glaze on top is something new I tried, but it's definitely at the top of the list now. The kayak has been put up for the week, since I'm club-hunting southern Illinois with my dad to close out the year. But I'm almost preferring the kayak over the brushy monstrosity out in the marsh- I like getting warm from the work, and it feels like a better reward when I do well. Hope you get on 'em this weekend. Rob BilletHead 1 WARNING!! Comments to be interpreted at own risk. Time spent fishing is never wasted.
Kayser Posted January 18, 2016 Author Posted January 18, 2016 One final update to close out the season. I took the kayak out last week to some flooded timber, posted up in 16' of water, hunting in the kayak and hiding in the tops of flooded trees. Setting decoys was a nightmare. Hiding was tough. Shooting was sketchy, at best, shot recovery is almost impossible. Lost the anchor on my jerk rig to a brush pile- the bungee cord broke as I pulled on it, but I didn't capsize. Final assessment- never again from a sit-in. It is now merely transport to wade-and-shoot opportunities, and will never be a blind in water I can't kneel in. I hope some other folks can find this post before having a similar (or worse) experience next year. Sit ins are for hunting shallow water. WARNING!! Comments to be interpreted at own risk.

BilletHead Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I couldn't agree with you more Kayser. For me and what my capabilities are it is transportation only to and from spots. Shallow water only even going to and from those spots. Too much can go wrong in a small craft. On another note they made the recovery of the guy who went missing up at Four Rivers. Found him Friday morning. Here is to hoping there can now be some closure for his family, BilletHead Kayser 1 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

JohnP Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I didn't like hunting in 15 plus foot flooded timber in a 16 foot boat with a blind on it last week, I can't imagine hunting it out of kayak or canoe. Glad to hear your safe. BilletHead 1
