Should let those southern guys try and walk around in our "rice fields". They think theirs are bad

Just imagine jumping out thinking it was solid.

We both know that's not always the case, but my point was that folks hunt wild rice from a boat of some sort. Domestic rice is hunted on foot. Don't know who said our rice is hard to get around in, but much of it isn't bad at all if it's sandy soil and the rice was cut when the ground was dry. If it's mostly clay or black humus soil, the rice provides some welcome bushing between you and those bad suckers (My puns kill me.) and makes it a lot easier going than that same ground its been flooded after being plowed in preparation for the next rice crop. (It's most common for rice land here to be planted and left fallow in alternating years.)
If, however, it's rotten ground that had to be cut wet, so the combines are dragging their bellies:
traversing it on foot when those ass deep ruts are hidden by water can be more of an adventure. And one of the reasons God made dogs.

IMO, they're way easier to kill on the wing than sitting on the water.

Hell, I thought the roundup, itself, a joke on the Yankee until it happened.

It's actually a lot easier if you just relax.
