[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5507834, member: 1409"] All my life I've heard of far West TN & West KY hunters talk about "ridges". But what many are referring to is just some linear ground that may be as little as a foot higher than the surrounding area. But when you're hunting near the Mississippi River, that is a "ridge" 😄 and these "ridges" are often under water, not visible if you don't know they're there. Knowing subtle ridges can mean the difference in using hip boots instead of needing chest waders, and am talking more about deer than duck hunting here. Deer living in swampland environments often prefer to swim across a slough as go around it, and won't necessarily follow the "ridgeline". I often find deer bedded at the base of a big cypress tree, surrounded by knee-deep & higher water. The cypress knees often allow them to get a foot or two above the surrounding water. [/QUOTE]
