Littlefeather,
  Sounds like I need to try and hand carry one of my bows back with me instead of putting it on the ship with the rest of our gear! I'll figure something out, you can count on it!
Take care, Scott

Views from Pine Log WMA in N GA....

Wide hog crossing..

Creek sparkle and Mountain top....

     

I found a nice place to set up for the last hour and a half Sunday evening.  I didn't see any hogs except those in my mind trotting in from both left and right of me.....

.
Left....Note the waller between the saplings beyond the obvioius trail.
     

.
Right...Note the trail leading into the crossing from the 10 O'clock position.

Here are some more pics of my buddy and his son and I shooting nutria.  Two of them are pretty dark, maybe one of you confuser (er, computer) literate folks could lighten them up for me?

This one is my buddy's son with his first trad bow kill.

 

This is my buddy's son and I with a couple of nutrias.  Note that the larger one is an albino.

 

This is one of my buddy and his son.  The newt on the tree was head shot from 20 yards by the boy with a broadhead made by his pops.  About as cool as it gets.

Stan,

Nutria are listed as legal to take every place I have ever been and I do not think I have ever seen one.  Are they mostly nocturnal or am I just not paying enough attention around the swamp?

[Eric Krewson]

I walked back into the swamp today. This is 7 Mile Island Mgt Area, bow hunting only, open the last month of the hunting season.

First is my swamp buggy ready to go.

 

This is a small part of the walk around the sewage holding ponds to get to the swamp. About a mile total.

 

Next is the before picture, before the tornado wrecked my favorite hunting area.

 

This is part of the area after the twister rampaged through. The deer are still there but it is impossible to hunt them in this section.

 

And more damage

 

Into the undamaged part.

 

The view from my tree. I was watching a draw off the ridge into the swamp. I heard a deer walking behind me on private land but saw nothing else.

Heres my little corner of heaven from last Saturdays hunt with Kyle. It was a beautiful spot, downright scenic. I wish I had gotten the creek in the pic better. It was rushing through there, and I was watching a crossing. The creek lulled me to sleep for about 30 minutes, no telling what I missed...deer?...bucks?...Elvis? I dont care, it was one of the top five naps of my life   :D  .

 

[McGeeM]

My friends and I have been doing deer drives efevry Saturday since the start of the new year. We have had many shots, but no kills until last weekend. After finishing a drive we were talking about what to do next when one friend took off walking down a creek bottom found a place to sit and waite. Ten minutes later he comes back to the truck and reports that he shot a doe. Thinking he was joking we walked down and sure enough she was laying 30 yards from where he shot her. You just never know.

[StanM]

Greg,

Nutria are mostly nocturnal, but we shoot a lot of them in the last hour before the sun goes down.

Guys, Hopefully Im not out of line asking this of you. I was thinking one picture per posting would be much easier and enjoyable for those viewing this post. I ask this because I for one cannot even think about viewing this thread on my home computer because of the download time. When I open the thread to view the pics and my poor, slow computer goes to work, I just close the thread. It just takes too long to download 4-8 pics in each post. Also, I think this would make sure that all the pics we post are truly special and not just everything we see outdoors. Its just my thoughts. Nothing written in stone if you still want to show bunches of pics. Maybe Administration will have suggestions. Thanks, Curtis

[Eric Krewson]

Us folk with cable modems somtimes forget what it was like before we sped things up a bit, sorry.

[Bear]

Makse sense to me. I have friend who say's he wishes he could view this thread, but it takes to long with his dial-up.

[Mike Falkner]

Bear,

You gotta love a guy who can rate the top 5 naps in his life.  I think you have your priorities just right!  Great pic, too.

Found this 2.5 yr old buck when I was out ground stalking the other day.  

Picked him up and was walking with him in my left hand and my bow in my right...went down a gulley, ground was very wet and I slipped backwards.   :(

Bow and the rack went way up...bow came down in the leaves and the rack in my face.  Punctured my face a couple times right below my cheekbone and scratch me up badly.  Didn't know I was bleeding until I tasted a trace of blood in my mouth.

 

[Warren H. Womack]

ken, Glad you're all right. It don't take but a second, for an accident to change your whole life.

Sounds like, what's left of a nice buck, drew last blood.

G'day fellas,

  My first post on this years thread. Just love it! Here is another Camel that was spoted on a scouting trip out west. Must sweet talk the owner a l ittle more to be able to hunt them. Enjoy...

[Warren H. Womack]

Alan, That must be a non-typical camel.

Looks like he's got a tree growing out of his hump. LOL...

I look forward to seeing more of your pictures. I always enjoy them.
