There is some sawgrass here in Okeechobee in small ponds that are few and far between and there may be some out on the lake but nothing like what I am thinking you are seeing.  

The cane that we hunt is down south in Clewiston and is pretty much the same thing you are describing, I have seen it take the guys 15 or so minutes to get to the dogs when they are only a couple hundred yards out.  

Its also amazing how much heat it holds, in the summer it will almost take your breath and give your dog a heat stroke then the cool weather isnt much better.

We caught a good hog back in October on a nice cool morning, by the time we got there he had done beat the dogs up and it felt like it was 100 degrees in there from them going back and forth.  They were hot, we were hot and he was still handing out licks like nothing was going on.

Biggest issue I see is the eventual inevitability of bayin' a bad one in the stuff... my dogs haven't slowed down when goin' into it yet... just got lucky and got on a couple chit hogs in it, so it was just a matter of gettin' to the catch... my gut tells me a bad hog could run a dog down in this stuff with ease however...

The reality is, huntin' near the grass provides much more action... the question is, is that action worth the risk...

Even the friends I have that say they've hunted it down south say they only have to go into small "heads" of it... so I may be in uncharted territory here...

Gonna hunt the edge of it again this wknd... only one way to find out I guess Grin

Cajunl, just north and east of there...
