It’s a blast! I haven’t drawn, but was on Red and Rhodes two years ago and Stallion this season. Lots of folks with more experience than I, but happy to answer PM’s.
After all red last year, I have a busy fall. 2nd archery elk, Dec Coues, Archery Ibex, Barbary, and javelina. My 14 yo son drew the same deer and javelina, and my wife and daughter each managed a rifle bull tag in October!!!!
From whitewater to fishing lakes, I’ve always preferred a canoe. I’ve used both, but like the room, versatility, and capacity of my Old Town. I also have a Sea to Summit wheel set for it that aids in launching from more remote access points.
