I took a swim in a snow storm once. I was out retrieving a duck and tripped over some grass and went head first into the drink. When i got back one of the guys heard me splashing around in the water and was like what happened. I took off one of my neoprene gloves and poured the water out and said that i took a swim. So we hunted for a little while longer but the ducks had stopped flying so we picked up and left. On the walk back i was trying to carry as much stuff as i could just to try and generate some body heat. And last year i packed out 190 goose decoys about 1/2 mile myself just to get 3 geese. But I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
