Interested in some ideas concerning using a sled for hunting, including varmint hunting, ducks, turkeys, whatever. Ideas or suggestions?

Have used a sled to hunt the breaks of the Big C for upland birds. Have also chased 'yotes & waterfowl in that a/o as well....

Believe it or not, we never floated the Wilson with out a shotgun.

That was a few years ago. grin

Many day's we would hit the gravel bar with a limit of ducks and steelhead.

During duck season I always toss a shotgun in the boat when I go fishing.

What he said


Except add mule deer, pheasant, chuckar and quail with a touch of cat fishing. Sturgeon are available also but I never had time to try

I have set down a rod with a coho throbbing on one end to pick up my shotgun and blast (at) a mallard. Last year I was throwing spinners in September, and used my electric motor to sneak up on and shoot a bear (with a camera phone).

There are 3 pretty big coastal bays/estuaries where cast and blasts are imminently possible (Grays Harbor, Willipa, and Columbia).

Creativity and local knowledge go a long way.

Pretty funny! On a side note, any reports on the dove forecast for Eastern Wa this year?

Lots of doves on the eastside right now. Sounds like it should be pretty good.
I'll be hunting geese over the first 4 days of Sept.

Thanks for the dove info! My mom and dad live in Wenatchee and I was thinking about visiting and going dove hunting.
