I hunted Goose Lake here in southern Wisconsin last week and I tried to cross a six foot drainage ditch that looked shallow and had grass growing on the surface in a lot of areas. My dog just jumped across. I took one step and went down to my chest in muck. My momentum allowed me to grab the bank on the other side after throwing my gun over there. I never did touch the bottom. Had the ditch been ten feet wide my dog would have gone back to my truck with just my hat. Wingworks vest, pockets, cell phone soaked with mud. Geez, I've stepped in badger holes, fallen down, got caught in fences, got lost, but this was by far the worst. I'll never do that again.
