[QUOTE="Twitch, post: 263560, member: 668"] My cousin and I were duck hunting on a really cold day on a well known lake north of Bismarck. We had to bust ice to set up the decoys and didn’t have a hunting dog. We decided we had a brilliant idea to take one of the big tractor tubes along to paddle out and get any ducks that fell out to far. We were having a pretty good morning as the snow that was pelting the area had made visibility perfect for waterfowl hunting and low and behold the first duck falls out too far to get to in our waders. After a round of rock paper scissors I find myself paddling the tube out towards the duck and unbeknownst to me every wave is washing into my waders. I retrieve the bird and paddle back to shore and when my feet hit the ground I realize how much water I have in my waders. After getting the water out followed by even more poor decision making I decide I need to go to the truck to warm up. When I got up there and got the waders off a second time I realized I never asked for his keys and my clothes from the waist down are now froze solid. I was too cold to make the trek back to the water where he was to get the keys so I crouched down out of the wind against the truck. This process took some time and my cousin decides I should be about warm enough to come down and pack up. As he’s having this thought he stands up and realizes he had his keys and runs to the pick up to find me crouched in my wind break. He starts the pick up and gets me in the cab and I got stripped down and wrapped in some dry coveralls while he went back and picked up all the decoys and all the other hunting supplies. Scared the s@#* out of both of us and that tube was never brought on another duck hunt. Not sure how long I was up there but not a fun story to think about. [/QUOTE]
