I've wanted to try duck hunting out of mine as well - have a 12' Perception Sundance and a 12' Mad River Synergy - both well equipped - rod holders, fish finder, etc. Actually, another thing that I've been itching to do is squirrel hunting on small creeks and rivers - I've seen folks do this back in Oklahoma and it always looked like great fun. The only thing I'm unsure about (because I haven't tried it yet...) is the whole manner of handling a shotgun while kayaking. Any tips? What do you use for a gun holder?
P.S. I spent many years doing field research in the Ouachita Mountains and know portions of them (North of Hot Springs) like the back of my hand. I haven't been there for awhile but can think of lots of places I'd like to go kayak fishing there.

first thing if duck hunting out of a kayak...have a waterproof backpack with a set of extra clothes...and a way to make a quick fire....and have a floating gun case....cabelas sells them....learned these lessons the hard way!....not good having a very excitible lab in the kayak when shooting ducks....my kayak is really a stable platform from which to hunt or fish...old towne has many options for it...trolling motor mounts/anchors/dog platforms...etc and the last thing is always wear your pfd....RR
