Couple of pics from the swamp
« on: June 07, 2010, 02:41:00 AM »
Here are a few pics from my last couple of trips to the swamp. I`ve been on pigs everytime but the wind has got me most everytime plus one sharp eyed old sow....I`m still after`m though and sooner or later.

   You city fellers know what did this?
 

Here is a clue.

 

That feller was hunkered down in the water and I walked to withing 3 or 4 feet of him and did`nt see`m. He was quick to let me know he was there.

 A couple of skinny reptiles...one not so bad..

 

And one really bad...

 

 And last a pic of a true hunter...Gotta look close cause I have a cheap camera. Its in its nest . I actually saw two fly out.RC

The snakes look freshly shed and beautiful. That is one impressive canebrake!

Thanks for sharing RC!

I know that folks are quick to point out the dangers of the swamp you love so, but I'm betting that folks like you and me will take those dangers over those of any back alley in any one of our major metropolises....lol

Great pictures BTW!!

God bless,Mudd

Killie, I was impressed by the Canebreak because I almost stepped on him....You can`t tell it in the pic but he was singing.

Stone Knife, I do wear snakeboots. Before I did I had been struck several times but never bitten. The Angels that watch over me work in shifts...

Mudd , You are exactly right. I feel mighty safe in the swamp. Its kinda simple, pay attention,don`t get in a hurry and enjoy every minute.I walked probably 8-10 miles are more in these two hunts. I saw a lot of deer...a bunch of small yearlings, Turkeys, Birds a plenty a couple more snakes, one black racer that was about to fast for a pic and beautiful south Ga. Swamps.I had pigs under 20 yards 6 times and could`nt gaff one.Had a broadside shot on a sow with pigs I turned down . Yesterday I called a yote from 80 yards to 20 by squeaking the back of my hand.He busted me when I tried to move a bit for a shot.

  Randy , that was a Red Tailed Hawk. I once saw one catch a black snake.

  I like taking a lot of pics, I have 4 albums full of such as this plus stumps ,spider webs , big trees anything odd....even BOMBS!!!RC

That was a Canebreak rattlesnake. About 4 feet long and all business.He was stretched out and I stepped within a foot of his head. He pulled back into a coil and would have probably tried to bite me if I had stepped any closer.I did`nt.RC
