Yesterday I was walking back in the dark from a public spot I'm familiar with and I was walking along a deep puddle that's been there forever bit it is a puddle with larvae and tadpoles, I couldn't see to well and I had a blind on my back a back pack also on my back, bow in hand and chair in my other hand. I lost my footing on a muddy part on the edge and completely went into the sludgy smelly puddle right off the highway full of litter.. I couldn't get up as the mud was so soft and all the crap on my back weigh me down.. I was only 40 yards from my truck what a way to end an already unproductive hunt
That sucks ....hasnt happend to me yet, but crossing knee high creeks with slippery rocks below it is bound to happen some time!
My phone was in my left pocket but I grabbed it immediately as i just got this phone and threw it into the leaves behind me so I guess it could've been worse but yes no pictures I did strip down naked outside my car and change into my other clothes so shoulda got a few pics of that as well lol but yea my bow and blind were dripping with mud and I couldn't find my chair so I fished for it with a stick and manage to retrieve it.. All in all it sucked..
Damn that sucks... I would be so pissed if that happened to me! I guess you just spray off your bow and dry it with like a hair dryer so it doesn't sit wet for a long time but gets clean at the same time. Take some pics of your gear if it is still really muddy
