Lillie help

I need some Advice for a Lillie problem I have entering my duck lease. The hyacinth are so thick I cant get through with my surface drive. Someone told me a true mud boat can tear them up and make a trail for me. Is that true? If so, is anyone willing to help me out in doing this? I will pay for your help. Also if anyone has any other ideas let me know. We can't spray them because we can't get through them to do it. We would need an airboat. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

It good to know a mud boat will work. Now I just need to find someone with one. I'm willing to take that person hunting on my lease one weekend and pay them.

How Far?

Like I asked in my email, how far of a trail do you need to cut through the lilies? That might help determine what kind of machine you need.

Lillies

We have about 100 to 150 yards left to go. We cleared about 100 yards already but that took us 2 days and alot of work

Trail

Your not going to ever really clear them all out. What type of boat are you trying to get in there during hunting season? A pirogue or a surface drive?

If you have a surface drive, what you'll probably end up with is just a small trail through the lilies that you can run through on plane without stopping till you get to the pond. If you have to pirogue in, it will be more difficult. Either way once you get that small trail cut, if you just continually run over it with the surface drive, it will slowly open up more and more.

Lillies

I will be going through there with my surface drive. it will tear them up if I can make a trail. We hunt multiple times a week so it will never close up. I just need that initial trail to loosen them up.
