Tuesday was the first chance i have had to give the Waldrop pack seat a try so i headed to one of my old stomping grounds on a Mississippi island i had left one of my old folding seats down there an i need to retrieve it so i put one of my favorite fanny packs on the pac seat an off i went..
its hard to believe its been over 33 years sense i trapped muskrats off of this island i used to paddle my canoe across the main slough to check my traps this beaver dam has been here quit a while
just thought this would make a good picture to look back on some day.
the islands are very hard to stalk on the floor is covered with dead branches an downed trees from the many years of being underwater when the river is high.
the ducks are finding the open water to swim in as the sun rises i wish you could have heard them there had to be a couple hundred on the main slough
it looks like a older scrape from November or so in one of the few more open areas on the island that are hard to come by.
ive been walking awhile now so its time to take my pac seat off my back an take a short rest eat some jerky an have a drink of water..i have heard some comments that it looks like the seat is to close to the ground.it does look that way but i have to tell you..its VERY comfortable an i can get right up out of it really easy an shoot my 64" longbow with no problem i had 4 or 5 inches of lower limb clearance while shooting at a few stumps..but just about the time i was getting up i heard something coming.. i will post more pictures a little later...
