I called this one in last November to a hill in the swamp. He was walking in water up to his belly. Tony
i'm not sure of the legality of shooting one that's wading where you're from, but in NC we're not allowed to shoot them if the water is over the knee. but back to the post; from my experience they love hanging out just inside the woodline from the river near home.
