I crossed a small run of water and went out into some small ridges that jutted out into a marsh. There was some beat down paths coming across them. the last time I hunted here you could not even begin to walk through this stuff because it was so thick. I had a good wind and even though the pig sign was sparse I took my time looking thinking if pork was here it would be in these thicker areas. I caught a glimpse of movement ahead and a flash of white and spotted a deer. I eased to within 40 yards before I got busted. Can`t shot one here now but its fun to try and sneak up on one.I walked to where it crossed and found a fine trail with an old beaver/pig tree...
Crossed the last finer of pines and dropped off into the Swamp. A beautiful day to be stirring with the longbow. I shot a lot of arrows before I reached this spot. This tree with a high water mark on it caught my eye and I took a pic of it..
The swamp is narrow at this particuler spot and I was standing on the River bank before long. The Altamaha at just a bit over 3 miles old from where the Ocmulgee and Oconee Rivers merge to Birth it....
I looked down from the river bank and spotted this Turtle that did not make it...
I then headed on away from the River NorthWest to spot I have hunted a lot. Then it was a good bit thicker and Deer were seen at least half of the times I climbed.
In this pic you can see a persimmon tree that is now dead near center of the picture. I killed a doe standing under it years ago . she had two more does with her and I shot her with a homemade longbow. I was climbed in the cypress tree a bit left near the palmetto from the persimmon. About a 12 yard shot. The bright eye tack I used to mark the tree was rusted and gone...
A little bit farther...I gotta get in here next years deer season..
On through the swamp I went ...Make a sound you reckon....
