nothing wrong with hunting "wet" spots. i shot a 7 point and a 10 point 2 years ago out of a stand i had to wade to. it was about 3/4 to 1 miles from the truck and over half of the walk was through water from calf to thigh deep. the good things is you could hear the deer before they were on top of you. the bad thing was i saw cotton mouths on every hunt...to include stepping on one on the way out one night. thank goodness for snake boots!
