A Note About FCS Guided and Self-guided Duck Hunts

FCS duck hunts usually require wading in bays/lakes/rivers/ponds at night, with only a cap light or headlamp for illumination, while carrying a shotgun, ammo, stool, drinks, etc.  Self-guided hunts also require putting out and picking up decoys and retrieving dead ducks.  Hunters sometimes get stuck in the mud while wading and trip over stumps and logs/branches.  Being able to get yourself unstuck if stuck in the mud and back on your feet if you’ve fallen is essential.  Consequently, these hunts are not recommended for hunters who can’t do that quickly.
