Hunting Venice and staying clean

I’d gladly take that Miss River mud over the Canadian river mud. It’s going to take months for all that red mud to work its way out the decking.

When I hunted down there we’d rinse out pirogues individually, then load them in boat, then we’d dunk decoys and load. And you have to make sure you rinse your waders before getting in boat. But we usually had a working wash down pump.

It do be like that, don't it

Yeah, there's nothing you can do - especially if you hunt out of pirogues.

Just the nature of it.

We pressure wash everything on last day of hunt (decoys, guns, bags, pirogues, etc) - which has helped tremendously.

However, the seadek in my duck boat is nearly brown now from the stains over the years.

It is just part of the territory.

Regarding keeping it off of your face, etc - that's even more of an impossibility if you are hunting with a dog.

I'm not even sure how I'm spreading mud, but it ends up on my face, gun, etc

That is just a part of the sport we all love!

Just talking about it makes me want to hunt!

I have a 2001 24' bay boat that does everything I want down there looks like shite but runs well and hunts and fishes well.

Hammer knows. We have a similar set up, 2002 Express. You can beat the crap out of it and it doesn't get worse than it already is. Problem is now with the lack of ducks, effort ain't worth the squeeze. Grinded thru the mud in my pirouge on a couple hunts down there this year and didn't fire a shot. That's when you question if it is worth it.
