My Buddy Chris Spikes and I headed to the swamp today to hopefully run across some pork and scout persimmons for early bow season.
We started out shortly after daybreak in swealtering heat and humidity but it felt good to in the swamp.
We found a wallow or two right off the bat.We were in a place I had not been to in a long time and Chris was on his first trip.
Headed on through the swamp through scattered pig sign to the River...covered in fog..
Cut back across the swamp in more pork sign..
We went to 3 or 4 different spots several miles apart and each area had its own resident Big Boar judging by the tracks...
Then while easing up to an oxbow lake hoping to get some footage of a lake lizard I almost wet my britches when I stepped within a foot of this sassy rascal...
All in all it was a good trip. We found several persimmon trees that will be kill`n spots come September and managed to walk up to within 25 yards of a bedded sow we ran off while looking at persimmon trees. Shot stumps had great fellowship and HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!!!
