Lst came this morning and a single teal sat there waiting on me then bang it's dead. I get out of my little makeshift blind. Walk and pick him up turn around and start walking back mud was thick so I was working hard to move then out of no where I find myself laying face first in the water holding my gun just bought at Xmas just out of the water. Some thing wraped around my wader boot. I pull about I 10 ft cable out of the mud. Luck for me I carry a extra set of sweats and gloves on every trip so I did not have a totally ruined hunt.ended with only two birds but still had a good time.

Question is guys does any one know how I can dry out the inside of my waders here at home and be able to use them tommorow morning?

Boot dryer. Or hunt in them wet. It's just water. I did it every weekend for 2 years.

If you can't get a boot dryer, stuff the boots with with newspaper and change it out about every 3-4 hours.

Man, I dry my waders every single night. Stick your hand inside the boot, pull the boot out to where the waders are inside out. You now have the inside of your waders exposed. Let a fan or a heater blow on em overnight. I do this every night

Turn them inside out to the boot part and set a fan to them. They will be dry or atleast very close to it
