I wish I had a GPS just so I could see how far my buddy and I trudged into a BLM salt marsh. My 800 gram insulated neoprene waders perfect for my hunts in the northeast were like wearing huge resistance bands from my feet to my shoulders hiking through the muck and reeds for what was probably 4 miles or more round trip. Never again, I think I will just get hip boots or those shell waders or something for this exercise next time. We also ended up having the whole place to ourselves.
But it was totally worth it. We were treated to the biggest flight of birds I have ever seen taking off at sunrise. It looked like a smoke stream stretching for miles. We got a few that stayed around. The mallard and pintail put down the landing gear for me while some others I most likely could have hit got the pass waiting to see if they would circle back even closer.
Super fun hunt and I will be back next season for sure.
