Down on the Texas coast a lot of rice is grown and in the winter it is prime Goose and duck hunting. The fields down there have a flat field with a moat dug around it and the dirt from the moat piled up on the outside of it making a berm.
When you are down there hunting without waders and a dog, if you shoot some game in the field, you have to get at it the best way you can.
One year I did and the moat was still full and I stripped my lower half and waded across the moat. In about 30 seconds my body was num and I didn't feel the cold for the rest of the round trip. When I got my clothes back on I felt hot.
But it was fun. What wasn't fun was having to lug your deeks and all several hundred yards from the road to the hunting place on foot. That was before the ATV and all that fancy stuff and probably the farmers wouldn't want you scarring up their fields anyway. But I don't know on that.
On hunting geese, they were easier to get at in dry fields and deeks were nothing more than patches of white sheets and you would lie on the ground amongst them with a larger one over you. Didn't dare turn your head and look at the birds as they would always see you and vector off honking and squaking. Peripheral vision is a must as is self control. Grin
Thanks for the pic. Funny that having lived down there and hunted and fished the areas, I never saw rice growing nor saw it in the pre-harvest state.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
