You're right they aren't all ankle tight. Every time I've tried hip boots my butt gets wet. I'm in and out of the pit a lot picking up duck or making adjustments and these are a lot easier to move around in than neoprene for sure.

This reminds me of a girl I took out during the duck season many years ago, what a brain fart that was. I had to scrub my little chevy before it was time, and more than usual, but apparently the stretching, sewed seams of my seat weren't given enough time to dry. When she stepped out I noticed her pretty skirt had these neat little vertical, evenly spaced, mud stripes up her butt. Man, was she pissed! I had to take her home to change, put a towel on the seat and headed back out. That never happened again.

Remember thinking that my roseau cane patch was looking too healthy when we passed by them the other day and had occasion to note from both their south and north that they actually stand out as boldly lush and green compared to the nearby patches they used to quite well match. Almost like they've been fertilized. Perhaps the blood of all the birds we've killed there... OK, maybe not. Maybe just the dogs churning up the nutrients beneath them, breaking up bound root systems or some other by-product of our activity there.
But I'll be thinking on ways to sicken them without knocking them out completely.
All in all, our marsh was looking pretty healthy, but not nearly as neat as the one to our north, Cherry Ridge, where they've done extensive poisoning to reopen it to recreate the show of water there in the late '90s. Pretty sure ours out-shot theirs last season, but their sub-aquatics are returning nicely, and that may have been the last time...

Look just like the canes that grown where spoil from clearing hyacinths or such from canals has been dumped. Will likely try a light dose of granulated poison (taken in through roots) and see if that won't set back next year's stand. Hopefully without wiping out my island...

I think of 2-4d as a broadleaf poison and canes as grass.
