Monsterbucks, not that zubba doesn't give out sound advice (I've read quite a few of his replies) but I'd suggest you don't do the tree thing he recommends. I'm only saying that for your own good because there seems to be quite a few humorists on this forum and if something were to go wrong in the creek crossing I'm sure we would readabout it for a long time (LOL).
I agree BKE.....Monsterbucks, don't put yourself in risk of falling in the creek and making the hunt miserable, but I would still recommend setting up something to aid you in crossing the creek....if it is a concern. Could be as easy as borrowing someones waders just to cross the creek.
