This experience at Ray's was truly wonderful, like so many things related to the trad pursuit. Ray is a well rounded man of great experience and a naturalist and an astute observer of all of the flora and fauna on his property. The hogs are like most things they might give you a break, but don't count on it. They are a very cautious animal. They won't give you a second chance like a deer will on occasion. I would reccomend this to all who are interested. One of the things I enjoyed most was the wildflowers and bird life. I was able to get a good look at a swallow-tail kite the first night and was very impressed with it's beauty. The wild swamp Iris that is above was a daily pleasure to pass by. As were the summer tanagers, buntings and warblers of all sorts. Hopefully Ian will post his story this evening. Mine is simple the hogs I encountered wanted to step on me so I got busted twice by putting myself where they wanted to be. The raccoon was an unlucky visitor after such an encounter with a couple of hogs. The hogs were both behind me at maybe ten feet, too close for me to move and shoot, too close not to smell me! C'est La Guerre! Joe
