New PL makes meat
« on: August 21, 2009, 04:55:00 PM »
Headed to the Swamp with my Good Buddy John this morning.We both had Honeydo`s to get done and had to be home by lunch so we decided to leave the boat and make a short Morning hunt on foot.


   We left the Truck at the crack of Daylight and headed in.After about a half mile we split up and decided to meet near at the River. I went a little ways down the access trail and saw sign of some other fellers ahead of me...

 


  After a bit farther down the road I cut through the swamp on a bearing that would put me down wind of a honey hole and the place John and I were to meet.Ran across a "trapper" along the way

 

  When I reached the River I owl`d for Old John and in a few minutes we were standing at the edge of one fine River Thanking the Good Lord for this morning...

 

   We rested a bit and headed towards the "hole".

  Just like it was supposed to the sign picked up when we got to and old swamp road closed on both ends.  

  Went a touch farther and heard some limbs crack.....

Spotted some pork up ahead headed to my right. They were feeding kinda fast and I new I would never get to them quietly so I made a loop ahead of them and waited behind a huge Tupelo Tree. Took about 3 minutes.Pigs came across in front of me and I put the sneak on a few yards forward and heard the arrow make a loud crack!The pig ran into the palmettos and all was quiet...

 

 

After about a 50 yard snufferized blood trail there lay a fine grill pig.

 


  My first critter since I had eye surgery. The Lord has Blessed me.


   Only a mile and a quarter from the truck so out came the meat sack and in a few minutes the pig was boned out and in the backpack.

 


  Got Brother John to pose for a pic...

 

  Found a tree on the way out I will check again for sure in a about a month or so..

 


  Went by a wet slew and found this fella "cooling". Bad pic but thats a Fawn enjoying a swim.

 


 Another good hunt on Public land.RC

Nice! I love reading your stories. I wish we had pigs to hunt around here. I can't hunt until early Oct. Keep up the good work.

Nice white oak...you could probably kill more pigs than deer under that tree.

I envy you sometimes RC! What weight are you shooting (bow, arrow, Snuffer)? Inquiring minds want to know. Well, I do  :biglaugh:

RC, Is that a tupelo tree he's leaning on? I used to buy a lot of tupelo for duck decoys but I've never seen one. Great shot on the pig.  Greg
