Made it home and rested, Ill tell a bit before I have to roll out. My traveling crew was made up of me of course, Cuz, Ken Thornhill (KAT), Steve Helstowski, and Jeff Vadney (Bear Misser) all members of Mohawk Hudson Traditional Archers as well as myself and Cuz, members of the infamous Puerto Rican Outdoorsmen.

       We pulled  into Estill on Thursday 2:00pm after a smooth 16 hour drive and were invigorated by the sun and 60 something temps after our brutal winter, bought our licenses at Wiggins, stretched our legs and ate some down home goodness at Lesters BBQ while waiting to be picked up by Andrew Harper. Mmmmmmm Mmmmmmmm it was good.

      We had all been to Hog Heaven previously and all had an idea of how the hunt could turn out but were only familiar with the old camp Hog Heaven.  Let me tell you what, the new camp is like a little piece of outdoorsmens heaven in a scenic and welcoming compound. The camp truly reflected Southern Hospitality at its finest. Smell of pine, birds of all kinds, Spanish moss, a beautiful pond sprinkled here and the with lil  "gatahs". I was in my glory and could feel civilization and its all of its pressures and dramas leaving me with every exhaled breath.

After a quick unpacking Cuz, Steve and I hit the woods close to camp for a walk and scout just to see what was on the new section of property. Not a whole lot of hog sign close by but I did find something else that I love about the Savannah River bottoms.

Friday was the 1st day for all of us to hit the swamps together and not much action for some but one of us did get into em and I aint telling another fellas story.    :goldtooth:   It rained a good bit on and off and left us pretty much drenched. We hunted all day and it started to dry by days end. We did some corning of the roads and ditches thanks to lessons learned from Terry Green on a previous hunt and things started to pick up hog wise.

By days end the swamps shared their secrets with me at the cost of only a rain soaking and some tired legs. I now had my plan of action for Saturday morning if the weather man was wrong with his prediction of 97% chance of heavy rains and damaging winds.   :banghead:

Thanks Brutha, Im 43 years old now but don't feel a day older than 42.

    Even lost a few pounds and added a little bit o muscle this winter in an attempt to keep father time at bay. Now that Andrew isn't feeding me Ill start back on my lighter eating routine and be in camo speedo condition come summer. To be honest, as much as we walked I could have eaten anything I want and still come out negative on calories by days end.

It's a shame you had to rough it.    :biglaugh:  
Looking forward to reading the rest.  This has me all jazzed up to go on a hog hunt.  
Happy B-Day!

As always I had to take pics of the beauty that is the Savannah River bottoms.  


    You dont see many trees of this calibre in my parts where too many people hate trees and anything that is not a mall or a McMansion.
