re: Pull in Boat Blind Marsh Hunting

My setup last year was parking the boat down the bank a good ways and just walking in the marsh all the way to the blind. There are some holes you have to look out for but you'd be surprised how stable the ground is.

I've hunted a lot of different marsh. Some of it is walkable and some of it definitely is not. If the marsh is not walkable you're basically down to using a pirogue as your only option.

One good thing about a pirogue is that, even if you don't hunt sitting in the pirogue, you can get out and stand (or sink slowly) next to it and use it to hold your gear and provide you with something to lean on or push on if you sink too far into the mud.

You can pushpole a pirogue through some pretty thick grass with just an inch or two of water flooding the grass.
