One of my best bucks of all time was taken by wading 100 yards across a flooded swamp and beaver pond. I put on my knee high rubber boots and rain suit. I then taped around the pant legs on the rainsuit to keep water from going up. I then taped the waist, then put on the jacket and taped the zipper and bottom of the jacket tight with duct tape. At times I was in water up to my arm pits. I had just cleared the pond to this little high ground I wanted to hunt that morning and was taking off the rainsuit when I heard the buck come into the pond on the other side. He climbed out of the water at a distance of 10 yards. Slam dunk. I taped myself back up and floated him behind me going back. Fastest hunt I ever had except for the time it took to pick my way around the deep spots.
