i'm just now getting into serious swamp hunting. i'm gonna hunt in richloam wma. almost all of it is in swamp, some pretty deep. i would just walk carefully and have your weapon ready just in case. i'm thinking of getting some hip waders for the really deep stuff. my snake boots don't go high enough. if it's really deep i know someone who actually takes a 10 foot john boat into the swamp and paddles to his spot. but i guess it depends how think it is.
