Last day of the season (Dec 15th) two years ago. It had rained heavily a few days before and then a cold snap hit. The Army Corps of Engineers opened a dam and flooded some woods and then re-dammed and the water receded. Leaving suspended ice on the trail to my stand. I'd walk up to the ice and put my foot on it and it would collapse (loudly) and fall a foot or so to the ground and shatter. I got to one low spot and put my foot on the ice and it wouldn't break. I put two feet on it and it still wouldn't break...I took one more step and it broke free....and sent me chest deep into a small pocket of ice cold standing water. I radio'd my buddies to tell them "hunt over"....and they all thought I had stuck one....not so much. All my clothes were frozen solid by the time I got back to the truck and my bow had a nice layer of ice all over it....worst day of hunting EVER.
