Duck Hunting in a Wetsuit

[Hunter527]

I saw a wetsuit in a sporting goods store this week and it reminded me of an idea I have. My idea is to hunt ducks in a wetsuit. If I wear a wetsuit then I would be able to swim out to retrieve my ducks instead of wading through the mud. Wading through the mud can get tiring, swimming would be much easier. Also, I’m a fast swimmer so I’m pretty confident I can outrace a crippled duck if I needed to. My only concern would be keeping my head out of the water because its not good to drink the reclaimed water at San J. But I’m a fast swimmer even with my head above water. A lot of you are probably thinking I should just get a dog. Dogs are expensive and require a lot of time and attention. A wetsuit is the complete opposite, It’s a one time purchase that would require a quick cleaning after each hunt and maybe a patch once in a while. Plus, I enjoy swimming. One time last year I had to pass up a refill blind because the water was too deep, I wouldn’t have to pass it up if I had a wetsuit. What are your thoughts on duck hunting in a wetsuit?

I’m at a golf course for a birthday party for a relative of a relative, this is the highlight for sure! I get all shaky just looking at him, what a bull!

I was just sitting here reading a book when, bam, just like that, it came to me, self driving truck for road hunting. Anyone know how to get ahold of Hatchet. Coffee in one had weapon in the other.

AFV would love a video of you retrieving ducks in a wet suit. Hell you might even claim the $10K and then be eligible for the $100K.... LOL

This sounds like an excellent idea. Please do this at Wister, everyone will love it!

I know you're kidding, but look at videos of body booting. Stand in chest deep water in Mystic (will it be that deep?) hiding behind some v board silhouettes and you'll do much better than the shore blind.

No boats at San J, unfortunately, or I would be kayaking all over that place!

I miss Larry

Hop on over to rokslide. He jumps in a conversation here and there to bloviate in a way only he can. I'm SURE he would love to hear from some of his old antagonist

helped a Hunter stuck waste deep in Wister Mud, he was pretty freaked out, just happed to have my son's body board in back of truck.
slid it to him and he has able to push off the bottom, kind of skipping while half his torso was supported by the board.
He was exhausted so I pushed off the mud and went into the reeds to get his mud buddy seat and gun.
It worked pretty good and a lot safer than trying to access ponds in your waders.
