Guest TheNumber1Young1 Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Well today started out the normal school day, 2 exams starting at 7:25 and ending at 11:25. So i got out of school and decided i wanted to go hunting with my friend. Rode the bus home with him, got all my stuff on and we left. We were walking through the woods for about 2 miles(to our stands)*(yeah i know its a long way, but its worth it) so we have to cross this little creek/swamp area. He goes first and i see where he stepped, and i follow right behind him. Well i guess the mud just didnt like me. I started sinking really bad, i tried and tried to get out. It was taking its toll on me(id already walked mile and a half) i called his name and he was like come on man stop playin. I told him i wasnt and he could see I WAS LITERALLY SINKING! so i kept trying and trying to pump my legs and get out, i just kept going further and further down. By this time it had been a good 15 minutes, he threw me a rope cought that and he started to pull, and i kept trying to pump my legs i kept sinking. So he said just relax, ill get u out, he threw me a log on the end of the rope, i grabbed ahold, loosened my legs and we were making progress, i finally got out after 30 minutes, i was up to my chest in mud, and i lost my waiters. Im glad im alive but im dead tired, the walk out was terrible, cold, and my socks were wet, my bibs were wet, Everything was wet, but my gun was ok, a couple scratches and bangs, but overall this afternoon SUCKED.

IowaDeerHunter Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Re: Almost got killed..... Wow, you got lucky you weren't alone. Glad your ok. I had the same problem pheasant hunting once. Only went up to my knees though, but I could feel it sucking me in. So i just kinda lunged forward and pulled myself out, got soaked though.

tp793 Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Re: Almost got killed..... Sounds pretty scary, glad you're ok. Something similar happened to me, but not to the same degree. I fell and kept sinking in clay, and waders were filling up with water. Finally got the waders unhooked and off, scares the poop outta you doesn't it.

Newarcher Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Re: Almost got killed..... Kind of reminds me of a joke about a monkey and an elephant walking through the woods and involves a Corvette! Not quite PG rated for this forum though. Glad you weren't sucked in for good!
