Man, there aint a much easier drag than in the water! It may be a little harder to walk in the water, but that deer will just skim along, especially in knee deep water.A lot of ourswamps here in NW Floridaare almost impenetrable. I've hunted Illinois and several other midwestern states and seen what they call "thickets". Give me a break. We've got thickets here a snake can't crawl through! When ourYankee buddies come down to gator hunt or fish with us, theyfind out what a real "thicket" is.
AMEN! We've got some places with those wait-a-minute briars as big around as a quarter that you absolutelyCAN NOT walk through. Squatting, crawling, and shredding clothes for 30 minutes just to get a hundred yards to a tree to climb is unlike any other "thicket" I've encountered anywhere else in this country! I've had to butcher deer like an elk and pack out the meat in a backpack. Dragging one out simply was not an option. That's swamp hunting at it's finest!
