Take a look at "My" spots
« on: February 05, 2013, 10:48:00 AM »
Hunted two days last week and yesterday and thought I would share a couple pics from South Ga. public land. Chris and I last week walked 22 miles in two days.No joke. got on pigs a couple of time but got no shots. Yesterday I walked maybe two miles and got on pigs 4 times under 15 yards . Got two shots and was deflected by vines and such both times. The pigs were in planted pines in the edge of a huge swamp and it was thick. I felt good with the shots as they were controlled but tight in thick spots you gotta shoot through some tight stuff. I honestly believe it was so tight a smaller broadhead would have gotton through....did I just find a downside to a Simmons???lol.

  Here is a few pics hope you enjoy. Just so you`ll get an Idea how Southern public land hunting goes... A few years ago I had pork under ten yards 11 times and did not get a shot. A few weeks later I killed three in one day and two the next week. You just gotta get after`m.RC

Early morning...

 

  One or two pigs have been here..

We were following a trail and came across this fella.

There were a lot of droppings under this tree. I think he was roosted and died of old age from the roost. He had no injury the best I could tell...

 

We went by a spot about 1.5 miles in the swamp where Chris killed a doe a couple of years ago. Broadhead is still in the tree after the pass through on the Nanny. Recon a treeshark will penetrate??

 

A cool morning..

 

Time to head out...

Great post RC .. your description of hunting the thick brush sounds a bit like hunting blacktails in western Washington. I always enjoy your stories and pictures.    :thumbsup:

In that pic, what bow is Chris toting, Robert? Don't look like his Centaur...didn't think he left home without his Centaur.

I couldn't help but think about the greenery.

Are the swamps starting to turn back to green already?

Thank you RC for taking us along.

God bless,Mudd

Chris sent his Centuar back for a touch up. He got it back last week so he will be toting it from now on. Palmettos are always green and yes things are starting to turn. We saw a crabbapple about to bloom last week.RC
