Wow.
That's a long time to be trapped.
DesPlaines Conservation Area definitely has some areas that are dangerous for wading, and I've been warned about places on the Fox River too.
Be careful out there.
I'm puzzled at the idea of giving up bowfishing because of getting stuck though. It had to be a traumatic experience, but it would take more than that to stop me from whacking fish.
He's not going to give up bowfishing, just the wading I think.
I've gotten stuck like that before, altho not nearly for that long a time(for those of you that know me, that's probably not a suprise). It's amazing how easily you go in, but how impossible it is to get out. It took me a while to get out, and I didn't go fishing alone in the area again for some time (Mazonia Fish and Wildlife Area). I'm glad he's okay.
