I enjoyed following along on this hunt and appreciate you taking the time to post the pics and story.

As always RC, you are without a doubt a fine southern gentleman and a darn good hunter.

Thanks again for ya'll taking us along on this fine adventure.
LONG LIVE THE LONGBOW!

Great story telling.  I am a bit saddened as its a RC hunt and there are no snake pics.  I usually expect a pic or two to give me the creeps!

Thanks for the kinds words.

I am not a big snake fan either, but I do admit that I was a little let down not seeing one - though I didn't want to see two either :-)

We did see a fine gator though.

RC is great.  This was truly one of the best hunts I was ever on.  Here is a guy that takes his well deserved vacation and spends it with some bum like me.  That is very gracious and gives you the sense of what kind of guy he is.

When this hunt comes around again.  Bid high.  You will not be let down.

And let me offer one last picture.   Actually two.

A friend of mine taught me a really neat trick many years ago on how to savor the memory of a trip.  When he looked through all his pictures of any trip he took, he always said one picture really spoke to him.  He then frames that picture and places it on his desk.  Then every time he looks at the picture, he can go back and relive a little bit of it.    It works and as I sit writing this I am glancing at other trip pictures of mine.  

For this trip I will frame these two.

This one because I think it captures the beauty of the Georgian swamp.

 

And this one because it will remind me of a new friend and the importance of giving back.  And of course, that isn't me giving, that is RC!  I learned a lot from him.

I agree it is a story well told! I have been blessed to hunt with RC several times and he is the real deal!  Won't meet a finer man nor guide.  He is of high moral character and probably one of the best swampers you will ever meet.  Bid High and often, and I'd be willing to bet you won't be sorry you won!  Really enjoyed this story!

Thanks for taking us along for the ride. "RC" your the man. The kids of St. Jude benefit from your efforts and we all say "Thank You" on their behalf. I need to string up my HH "Wild Boar" and head your way.  :thumbsup:
