[QUOTE="MusicCityCajun, post: 5280190, member: 22014"] About 15 years ago my dad and I were hunting a flat swampy WMA in Louisiana. We had only been to this place a few times and from satellite pics had decided to park the truck and walk down an old oil rig road to where a well head was, then cut into the woods a few hundred yards to set up for a hunt. It was about 45° an hour or so before daylight. We got there, parked the truck, and walked all the way to the well head. As we started walking into the woods my dad was about 5 steps in front of me and suddenly dropped into the ground completely out of sight, all I see is his hunting pack and hat sitting on the “ground”. Come to find out, the well head was sitting atop elevated ground built up a few feet by digging a moat around the circumference, but a floating grass had completely overgrown the surface of the water making it look exactly like regular grassy terrain. My dad had been on solid land one step and the very next step in 7+ feet of water completely over his head. Luckily he had some extra gear in the truck and was able to go back and change into some dry clothes and we continued on to an uneventful hunt. Haven’t been back to that WMA since. [/QUOTE]
