I had good wind so I started the excruciatingly slow process of trudging towards them in the knee deep mud. At times the mudflats opened up into tributaries then more mud. I finally made it across the expanse and was about 20 yards from the hogs, sidestepping for a better shot. I started to draw back then caught movement in the reeds. Creeping up on the boars was a huge gator, and were were all in the center of a mud flat, 150+ yards from shore. I pondered the situation then turned and decided to make haste. After I had trudged about 75 yards I hear something and looked back to see one of the big boars running at me from across the flat!!? At first I thought the gator chased him out but the boar was coming directly towards me. He slowed and I turned to face him and we stared eachtother down for a few minutes at 50 yards. He held his ground and I decided to leave, I was perflexed, but more worried about the gator than the hog.
Whats even crazier is that I mentioned the episode to another hunter and he immediately went into the flats in search of the pigs, no fear, solo!
Daniel - its was fun! I'll be in touch!
