That is pretty cool. Trees sure are adaptable.


Can you imagine finding that hog skull head high in a tree at dusk!!  :eek:

Neat pictures, I surveyed for Amoco oil back in mid 70's and found an old saw blade stuck in tree stump evidently they broke the blade and moved up about a foot and cut it down, Also found an old survey that showed a dirt road that was still in use as being a Stage Coach road. Neat stuff out there isn't there?

A buddy of mine used to live in Hawkinsville and I spent many a day chasing hogs in the Ocmulgee area. Good place to run around with a stick and a string.

You been sneaking around in my back yard again?  

Love to find old stuff my self.  I need to get out and start finding some new soft mast trees!  Might take my bow in case them Asian Tiger skeeters get after me.

Sorry Bob!

I've wanted a metal detector for years but my wife thinks it's odd.
I can see me hittin the woods with a bow in the backseat and a metal detector...the metal detector would never get touched anyway

The swamp is cool for finding old stuff...you're just more of a man than I to tackle it in the recent heat  :notworthy:  ....more photos, RC!

Given the title of this thread, I was afraid it was going to be a picture of me.....  :biglaugh:
 
 

speaking of old things in the swamp...RC will probably recognize this place.  He pointed me in this direction on my first Trad Bowhunters of GA hunt over 4 years ago the first time I had met him.  Even got on hogs that weekend, just wasn't confident enough to take the shot....still one of my favorite WMA's.  Steve

My dad found a piece of brass in the woods once that was shaped really odd.  We cleaned it up and found some markings on it.  Did a bit of research and it turns out it's a base for a surveying tool that was made in the early 1800's.

Yep I know the place your standing. If you`ll look directly behind you and to the right you`ll see two blackish trees. Persimmons . Early season magic.RC
