Tracker 14×36 light full mod for sale $3,400

Tracker 14×36 light full mod for sale $3,400

I have just finished modding this boat out for the flats. I like to call it my Super Light Dike Puller. It has full length UHMW tipped aluminum runners to protect the bottom and stiffen the boat up. I mounted a transom reinforcement bracket for the motor. This boat is my ideal size and weight 2 man boat for the flats. Included in this sale is a used late 90′s 9.9hp Johnson outboard, a *modded lewis winch with 026 stihl chainsaw motor, and trailer. This is a complete rig…head to tail. turnkey dike puller for shiawassee hunting.

call or text me, 989.574.7557 for any further info.

 

*my lewis winch setups are the best around. I run a lighter, thinner cable to keep from birdnesting or jamming on the spool. This also allows me to run more cable so you are never out of reach of your pull target.

Wednesday’s high winds

Had a high wind forecast today so we knew it would be a tough go. We had about a 1,000 birds thru the spread but it was tough to ID them and call the shot with the sun position and NW 30-40mph winds. Called it a little early knowing we should have good shoots the rest of the week.

 

we hunted a bean field that birds were hopping off a loaf pond up into the field to feed. shot a few birds this morning and then packed up to get lunch. Came back and checked it at 4pm and birds were loaded in where our blinds were this morning. Small adjustment for tomorrow and forecast of 10mph winds, should make for a better shoot. Here’s the view from our layouts.

 

this was our view from the layouts today....feeder birds piling into a loafer.

tuesday’s hunt/scout

Setup in a bean field that was loaded the previous 3 nights….finally had permission to get in there. Nothing flew. Surrounded by 3-4 roosts with thousands of mallards…..nothing. haha. Very typical full moon mallards. After loading up this morning we did the normal drive aroudn the roosts and they were just absolutely loaded with lazy mallards. Heading back out to a cut corn located directly in between 4 different roosts in hopes there will be a feeding frenzy tonight. here was one of the roosts.
