Post by: RC on May 23, 2011, 07:03:00 PM

I`ve not been able to hunt much because work is booming and thats a good thing. Have been and got on pigs everytime but no shots. Here are a few pics from a hunt the last week of turkey season and a couple hours out on saturday.RC

RC,
Thanks for sharing the pictures. I always look forward to your post. How does the pig hunting season on public land in Georgia work? Is it only open with other game or is it open year round?

Interseptor, Some kind of season has to be in on WMA`s for you to hunt except for a few special pig hunts on a few WMA`s. I hunt Fort Stewart when the WMA`s are not open.Won`t be able to WMA`s until August 15th.Fort Stewart is really good during the hot Summer if a fella don`t mind the heat and ...snakes.RC

Centaur, I did`nt shoot the Snake he was kinda calm and I justed wanted by. A quick flip of the bow limb and he was a very safe distance away.
Longbow, I`ve heard pigs eat snakes but never seen it.

Very good photos. I always like your pic posts. I really enjoy the pics of the snakes too as I'm kind of a "snake nut" myself. Been catching them since I was a youngster and I already have taught my sons how to catch them safely, NON poisonous ones that is. I especially like the pic of the cottonmouth because, contrary to what some believe, they are extremely rare in KY except for the western 1/3 of the state.

Is that first snake a Racer?

I dont know about feral hogs and water moccasins but our wild russian boars here eat snakes if they find them.

Great photos RC!

It was a beautiful day.

A day like that makes up for no splashes of red and cold BBQ.

They'll be quakin' and shakin' on your next outin'!

Shoot straight, Shinken
