Jeremy,I've been hunting Public land for 42yrs and water accessing most of my hunts been using a 14ft jon boat for most but like last year they dropped the water futher than i have ever seen in Tn a raft or kayak would be the way to go on those situations. This is the first time ever commenting on Social media i usually fly under the radar especially with my hunting locations i enjoy watching like minded individuals such as yourself and your hunting style
I run with guys like you and Daniel. Southern Red Neck through and through! 20/72 Express with flats jack and 115 Yamaha. Had it LOADED with stands/bows/bucks/and blood many times! LOVE your content! Most FACTUAL channel on the tube. Your seminar video was SPOT on. Most hunters have no idea the difference between Midwest and Southeastern whitetails! TOTALLY different animals! "look up at you and RUN!!!"
Jeremy is genuine as anyone you know ! He really does want to help you and pass on his knowledge! It’s not about the advertising or the fame or the money for him.
@@doityourselfhunter9031 yep , I know exactly what you mean , I really enjoy your content being a backwoods old school braught up guy from south louisiana right next door. When are you gunna come to louisiana and give it a run ? I’d be happy to share with you some of the things I know on some public out here
The gheenoe is by far the best in my opinion, lightest and most versatile. You can drag it, paddle it, or motor it with a heavy payload in the skinniest of water.
I agree with aluminum boat I haul a kayak in mine to get more remote unloading kayak in feeder creeks off river channels. But a cold boat ride will make the weather of the day way warmer lol.
Thanks for sharing your boat setups. I use a 12 foot aluminum v hull with an 8 HP outboard for the majority of my hunts. It’s great for navigating rivers with low to mild current. It’s great to be able to drag my deer and drop them into the boat and take off. My other setup is a 10 foot sit on top kayak for small streams with low current, and when I know there are no boat landings available. Using a kayak is also quiet so it makes it easier to sneak into spots with little noise. The con would be weight capacity, low storage space and a potential for flipping.
Cons When bow hunting oxbows in rivers with high river banks behind the oxbow the deer setup so the back draft from the opposite river bank side on a mid wind day alerts the bedded deer I’m paddling up or down the river. Some bedding areas are nearly bullet proof with a water approach and other areas that run straight N/S or W/E water access makes the difference. Bigger river systems you can get away with a lot more that smaller tighter skinny water situations I have found
Owned many small john boats and others here in Central Fla 50 years hard fishing. My thoughts at this time ? Tunnel hull, hover craft?, someone else boat lol maybe beaver tail? fold out boat from sears?? lol Never is a perfect boat only when i sold them. Good Luck Safty FIRST
You should try a sun dolphin plastic tunnel Motor on front or rear Very sturdy Ive use mine for years Floats and runs very shallow I run a 5 hp on rear n a 55 lbs thrust on front I put in the back of my truck You can put on a trailer Works great I think!!
I really like my little 12 foot flat bottom , its wide and ive got a little gas motor on it an electric for backup of course rhe oars too last resort. I can put it in the back of my pickup with one ratchet strap and im good to go. But not really a big water boat do pros and cons to them all good video brother.
I run a 12 ft monarch aluminum flat bottom with a mercury 9.9. It runs about 20 max with all my gear. It small enough i can get pretty shallow. I run rivers and lakes mostly with it. Love your content. Found your channel and have been binge watching.
I have 20 ft seaark cc . Sold my 17 ft triton that looks kind of #1. I had a gehnoo and sold it as quickly as I could because it’s too tippy! I hated it! I would like another Jon only if it has a 4 stroke. Out of your arsenal boat 1 is the only one I personally would fool with! I believe a tunnel hull boat might be the ticket! One more thought is safety! I ran tiller motors for 30 + years on the water in the dark! When it’s cold your hands really get to stinging and the orientation of your body in the boat can make it difficult to spot dead heads. If you have a steering wheel at least both eyes are forward and my opinion much safer!
Hello - Really enjoy your videos - I have a 2022 Subaru outback - would you talk/ do a video about your car & tires you use ? any other features added to or included that make your ride useful for your hunting trips - thanks for all you do- Frank
Glad to see a new video, last night I was binge watching last seasons episodes. Good stuff! I've had two bateau's, a 1442 with a 25hp and a 1236 with an old 15hp. I think my next one is a gheenoe. I want to saltwater fish out of it also (in South Louisiana).
Great video Jeremy. I talked to you shortly after your mishap last fall. I’ve been running Stryker Inflatables for 6 months now and it really is a great platform for anything water/outside. There’s nothing on the market that has their stability and capacity.
@@doityourselfhunter9031 I’ve been running them on lakes and rivers in Iowa and haven’t had an issue. The Stryker shield is tough stuff. Not a mark and I’m not easy on it.
@@doityourselfhunter9031 I actually was so curious about them I flew up there and met the folks at Stryker. I’m going to be running mine in Alaska and wanted something durable. Now, 6 months later, I’ll be the 1st US dealer for them. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.
I use a 19ft fiberglass skiff to hunt and fish out of. We have some fairly big water around here and it works well for that. Been looking pretty hard for a gheenoe for a few years now. It would be a lot easier to travel with.
Anyway yall could do a video on what you do after the "harvest". Would like to see how yall dress and pack one out, then what do you do with the meat from state to state.
Go to the channel and look up Daniel show Scouted two day and only two hours in the tree. At the end he showed how we cut ours up. We just keep them on ice and keep the water drain.
Where in world have you been!!!???😂 me and my wife were keeping up with you and your wife's journey, and then nothing... we actually was worried something may have happened to y'all???
I'm sorry. Pretty hard traveling and editing videos and then on top of that my finger got infected and I had to go to the dr -- and I never go to the doctor. So we cut our trip short and came back home. I got one more video to put out on the trip. Thanks for watching.
Lifelong resident of N.E. Arkansas, Delta region, flat ground. I hunt 💯 Public Land, WMA’s, all swamps. I use a Canoe 🛶 but does not have a Transit for a motor. I have been searching for a Canoe with a Transit for a small motor. The 3 WMA’s that I hunt consist of thousands upon thousands of acres, all bow hunting only, no Gun hunting allowed. 5 full months of season starting the last Saturday in September (regardless of date) through February 28th, no breaks. 6 Deer total but only 2 Bucks allowed for the entire season. Must have 3 points on one side to be legal. Blessed to have that much land to hunt, with Bow Hunting only allowed. The Canoe is extremely quiet but being 62 years old, paddling any distance is getting rougher. I will be running a Mud Motor if I find a big enough Canoe with a transit. Enjoy all your Videos. Top notch Channel. Keep it coming. Barry James Arkansas
Team hunting river systems is so effective I’m glad more ppl in my area don’t use water access Water obstacles in 2023 are still unconquered and under utilized in most states fortunately for us
I tried a 1436 a few years back. Once it turned cold I took it out one time. Nothing fun about cold aluminum and cold wind. Not to mention possibly having a mishap and getting wet. I sold it.
I have an Old Towne single seater canoe. 11'9", 56 lbs, so it's easy to take on and off of my truck topper. Sit low like a kayak so it's real stable. Pretty tight for cargo room in front and back but I have had a buck and my deer cart in the front and my bow and pack in the back. Sits damn low fully loaded but gets it done it flat water. I mainly use it in small rivers and creeks but have used it on small lakes on a few occasions. Pretty tough for a morning hunt when the beaver are slapping their tails on the water at you all the way to your spot. 🦫
You think the lack of fenders on that inflatable boats trailer might be contributing to the holes. I lost a fender on my trailer and it look like the paint was sanded off the bottom of my boat after roughly a year of running it like that.
Oh the gheenoe i belive youd be happer with it with a small surface drive than an outboard. Put can modify thos small engines fairly cheap compared to an outboard.
Thank your dog for more view time I backed up the video a couple around the 10 minutes mark to find out it was a white dog in the woods. Glimpsed something whit and thought Deer. Lol

I use the 15' 6" Classic Gheenoe for our river and backwaters here in NW Florida. Zero complaints for my application.
I have used mine a lot over the years.
That’s a heck of an arsenal. I’m running something similar to your scanoe for the first time this year 12’6” square back with a 3.5 Merc

I deer hunt a ton out of larger boat on the Big River. It's nice being able to cut walking distance as well as scent trails.
Yes it is

You should try a sun dolphin plastic tunnel
Motor on front or rear
Very sturdy
Ive use mine for years
Floats and runs very shallow I run a 5 hp on rear n a 55 lbs thrust on front
I put in the back of my truck
You can put on a trailer
Works great I think!!

Thanks for sharing the good, bad and ugly about the different boats. I'm hoping to get a good semi- v Jon boat before long
Ok Maybe!

yes

What happened to the Mokai jet boat in couple videos? How did it function for you? Enjoy your content, always entertaining. Keep up the good work
One of the boat throttle censure has went out a couple time. If you weight 150 or less it works good. I like it for turkey hunt.
Grizzly 1720 tracker 40hp mercury jet motor

There isn’t one perfect boat
Awesome video
I haven't found it yet.
You think the lack of fenders on that inflatable boats trailer might be contributing to the holes. I lost a fender on my trailer and it look like the paint was sanded off the bottom of my boat after roughly a year of running it like that.
I just put the boat on trailor, could be that.
I’ve been thinking about buying a pelican bass cat 10ft. And just using a trolling motor.
Will work in the right situation. Good Luck!
I’ll take the one that starts every time and doesn’t sink when it floats into a tree in high water.😅
I want push off the bank again without the motor cranked first. Learned a lesson that night the hard way.
Oh the gheenoe i belive youd be happer with it with a small surface drive than an outboard. Put can modify thos small engines fairly cheap compared to an outboard.
Thank your dog for more view time I backed up the video a couple around the 10 minutes mark to find out it was a white dog in the woods. Glimpsed something whit and thought Deer. Lol
I’m gonna have to say an Aluminum boat is my style. I’m currently running a 1756 Havoc.
Nice boat.
The 14' polar craft jon is the best hunting boat! Looks like all the other ones will sink!
Getting close brother my son and I been slinging arrows already
Yes it is.
Great video friend 👍
Thank you 👍
You just can’t beat a 16 ft John boat with a 25 short shaft jet on that sucker.
Pump guard change performance of mokai I have 2011 and 2022 pump guard .
Nucanoe frontier 12 with 100amp lithium battery and trolling motor
Good for small water.
@@doityourselfhunter9031agree, but I've used it in white capped lakes with no problem and slow rolling rivers. I wouldn't use it on fast water.
I sold you that 6hp Mercury. Has it been good to you?
Yes it has, Thanks.
Hard to beat the gheenoe
Yes it is
What all states u planning on hitting this year?
AR, TN, IN ,IA , IL and MS
Have u ever towed gear behind mokai
No, but thought about it.
Get after it buddy
It's just around the corner, be here before we know it.
It’s like boots, ya need a few different pairs.
That is true!
Which boat did u sink?
gheenoe
You da man!
I got a 1969 15 foot alumacraft v hull that I built a deck on the front for fishing and use it to hunt some public land in my area.
