Title: Fun pig hunt last week
Post by: RC on March 25, 2009, 02:49:00 AM
Chris aka "Landshark 160" and I went for pork at Fort Stewart the other day. We been doing purty good and was expecting to gaff one but as hunting goes we did`nt get on pigs that day. We did have a good time and was in pig sign all day long. I took a few pics and thought I would share them . First pic is a sign of Spring..

Next we ran up on this small Indigo Snake. I have seen these snakes nearly 8 feet long before.

  Chris was standing by an oak and this fella fell out of it right beside him . I managed to rile him up some for a pic.

If'n I ain' mistaken, they are protected on Ft Stewart. There's plenty of 'em there but ol RC can find anything. I think he's part Indian.....

Very nice.  Looking forward to trip down to Georgia in a few weeks.  It will be nice to see bare ground, let alone flowers and snakes (and hopefully a pig or two).   :pray:

Its a corn snake or oak snake not sure which. Non venomous. He was very game. Chris put his boot beside him and he bit him several times.Scary thing... for as small as this snake was once he almost bit over the top of the boot. Makes you wonder about what the 6 foot diamond back will do. There are more than plenty of thim there.RC

are those indigo snakes venomous.

No an Indigo is not venomous. They are actually on the endangered list. They are quite docile but very powerful.Beautiful snake and I don`t like snakes.They inhabit Gopher Turle holes . I once saw one sunning during the early spring half outside a burrow and a small ratsnake beside him. Sleeping with his dinner. Indigo snakes like Kingsnakes eat other snakes.RC

Now thats a cool day. I love snakes, and think it would be cool to have a few of your southern species up here.
My time at Ft. Benning was a blast. Boy I did a lot of push ups for catching snakes...

Thanks for sharing.

Love hunting hogs with a longbow:) My wife used a homemade pork rub and grilled some awesome wild ham steaks the night before last from a pig I arrowed. Yesterday she combined some wild pork sausage with some venison sausage and ground beef to make a killer meatloaf that was cooked wrapped in bacon. The right pig makes for some good eating:)
