You can easily build a rear cross mount with an overhang to clamp on the inside of a canoe with the motor attached to the overhang. My FIL made me one years ago for our canoe. He made it out of a piece of Ash. It had wedges on the outside to go under the top edge and sliding clamps on the inner edge that bolted up to the crossbar. If I knew where I put it years ago I would take a picture of it for you.Now that's an idea! Unfortunately I do not have a trolling motor. Well, I do, but it would take some doing to rig up the bow mount foot pedal model from my jon boat into a canoe lol.
I have yet to harvest a blackduck. We are between flyways so we pretty much get 85% ringnecks with smorgasbord of puddlers and a few other divers (not counting mergansers)Black ducks are the ones we have to be careful with. Last I checked, we are allowed 2 per day and 6 in possession at home. It can be hard to tell them from a mallard hen in low light.
Thanks Jim. I think I got the jist of it from your explanation. I'm sure I can put something together if I find a tiller handle trolling motor for the right price.You can easily build a rear cross mount with an overhang to clamp on the inside of a canoe with the motor attached to the overhang.

My newly acquired dump carryall works great. I can unload it from my seat by putting it all the way up and pulling the lock catch. Closing it is a lot easier if I just tilt the whole basket upwards in the back using the hydraulic top link. I can now carry 3 times the amount of wood in one trip.
They are fairly uncommon here too, probably why they are limited harvest. I can count on one hand the number I have brought home over the years. Very cool on the pintail, we do not see those here.I have yet to harvest a blackduck.

My son got a pintail the other day (first one at our cabin in my lifetime). I am also waiting on a canvasback.
Odd that the deer would be so afraid of an antlerless bear.Yesterday's deer is just a brown blur, you cannot tell what it is, but here is the bear that I believe scared it!
Good evening Mike.
How long do you think it takes those pictures to come thru once the camera takes them, a buddy of mine was wondering and I have no idea.
This is for Matt lol.
I primarily ride around with my trailer and scrounge roadsides on Sundays after everyone has done their yardwork, usually after a storm the picking is good. I get a modpodge of stuff. There is a tree service in my route that yields some really good wood as well.Thought maybe you guy's that scrounge wood, might share some of your scrounging methods with the seemingly growing crowd of newbie wood burners. From what I have been reading, they would be quite appreciative to hear how you score, and where you score. There is a lot of useful and interesting information scattered throughout the firewood forum. I thought it might be nice to share some of your experiences in one thread, for those who are just starting out and maybe those who are struggling a bit. Thanks to anyone who cares to share.

This past weekend I scored a bunch of Locust and White oak, and a smidge of birch.( pictures attached)
Anc let's not forget when the feud was on with the Drysdales. Jed scolded Jethro cause it took him 3 shots to take out the phone wire. Jethro says, I didn't miss Uncle jed ! They was 3 wires!I get a kick out of the episode where Jed and Jethro are driving nails over their shoulders using a mirror
Nice HaulAccomplishments of a 4hr splitting session on Saturday with my wife and daughter. A double row on a raised concrete section of a 30ft corncrib pad. Silver maple, ash, elm and some honey locustView attachment 1213374
