Couple trips after swamp roosters
« on: April 30, 2010, 08:21:00 PM »
Thought I`d share a couple of my last outings for Swamp Roosters and pork.

   I hunted a short while one morning and heard 5 Gobblers all roosted in the edge of a creek. They all flew down on the other side on property I can`t hunt.So The next morning I was there before fly down time and was planning on calling one down on my side and gaffing him and being home before 9:00. Not. Did`nt hear the first bird and I stayed till 10:00. I`m thinking my Neighbor musta messed with`m the evening before.

  Not a total wash . On the way out I found a "trophy" in my Uncles Field.

 

Ran across a couple of hardshell possums on the way out....

 

 

Also ran into a mighty skinny feller.Harmless but will make you wet your britches if you step on him before you see`m.

The next day I headed over to the swamp for round of pig hunting. Kind of a relief from Turkey hunting. Calling a Turkey to me is like arguing with your wife. You know 95% of the time your gonna loose but you do it anyway for the sport.I like pig hunting More to be honest ..


The disrespectful porkers had the road in a mess...

 

Ran into this fella and he is a BAD boy.If he "fangs" you its a trip to the hospital for sure..

 

Saw an ancient old Cypress

 

And a natural bird bath...

 

Checked a Big Wallow because its getting hot down here and it was occupied. A small pig does not want to cool here...

 

A closer look why...

 

  A very good couple of days.Other than the dillas no kills but fun indeed and a Blessing to be out. I`m gonna be after the Turkeys hard one more week then Its Porkers and fishing. RC

I always enjoy your outings. I happen to like snakes....a racer and a cottonmouth?

I LOVE the line about turkey hunting and arguing with your wife.  :laughing:

Awesome RC.  I guess those gators go where they need to.  Talk about a predator using a natural blind!!

When you're walking around the woods in warm weather and the snakes are out you get pretty sneaky !!!!
