I have an Old Towne Stillwater 12 Canoe that would be perfect assuming you can drive somewhere close. It weighs just over 56# and is really easy to portage or carry. That way you can bring your deer back across which is not easy to do with a kayak unless you float them which creates its own hassles. Plus it's green so easy to camo to prevent unauthorized use and departure

Whatever you choose, wear a life jacket.
