Randy and I paddling in to chase some hogs. Well, I was paddling my kayak. Randy mounted a trolling motor to his canoe.

As we landed we were greeted by a dark fishing spider about 5.5-6" in diameter.

Saw good sign right away.

This wallow hadn't been used in the last day or so, but it was a popular spot for sure.

I'd bet this old rubbing tree could tell some stories.

This one's story telling days are over. The hogs have rubbed it to death.

Gator working on its tan. We saw five!

"Paddling" out. :biglaugh: Randy wanted to see how long the battery would last towing me. About 3/4 of the way back.

Craig - when I'm inside the house, lol.
We had a great time. Looking forward to you making it back down this way.

We also found 2 places where there was more hog sign and scat than I’ve ever seen before. It was pretty apparent that these spots have not seen any pressure in a long time if ever!
We saw 5 gators on the way back out after temps started warming up a bit. I got within about 5’ of one of them. Unfortunately I am not able to post pics from my phone..
we’re gonna plan another trip before the temps get to warm and put out some trail cams on the funnels and may do a little fishing along the way!!
Oh yeah, That dang spider was the biggest spider I’ve ever seen!!

All great pics but honestly, I'd have shot that spider.
:biglaugh: She was doing her thing in her own backyard. We've crossed paths with several copperheads and I almost stepped on a cottonmouth a few years ago. If they were in my yard it may be another story. In theirs, they get a pass. They have a difficult enough time not getting eaten by the hogs or the gators.
