RE: I need some advice
I have found here on the gulf coast of Fla. the big boys like to get just as deep in the swamp as they can.they will go till they find a little tussit or island and lay out the day.
if you can scout the swamp and look for bedding ares,or if you jump a deer.find you a good tree on the edge of the swamp where the enter.look for trails from the high ground to the water.
I have taken many deer in the water.I don't wear boots or waders because I always go over them and get wet anyway.
good luck,and get wet for a buck.

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.
