I have gotten stuck in the mud a few time but none that bad...where we used to hunt we had to cross a mall area of water that was only about 8-10 inches deep but once u stepped in u went up to you waste in mud...if you kept moving you were fine but once u stopped u were in trouble....we used to hunt in a swamp that was pretty much floating with about 4 feet of water under it ..that wasnt a real great idea but the duck hunting was great so i couldnt resist....
