Loaded a tent and a few possibles and headed to Horse Creek WMA for a couple of days. Got set up at the camp ground and took off looking for sign...

I roamed the swamps like a kid. Not a lot of pig sign but some and it really did`nt matter to me. Every time I hunt horseCreek its like coming home or something. Just feels good to loaf around with no place you gotta be at anytime of the day.
I did walk up on a lone boar that jumped up from some palmettos. He ran about 20 yards and turned broadside and I shot under`em. Doggone it!!!You know you having fun when you can miss and pic your arrow up and laugh and carry on.
Had a look at the River...aint she purty!!!!

Found a few hot spots ...

Ran across a sassy buztail...

No,he didnt make it.
Climbed on a hot lone white oak and made a long 7 yard shot on a young doe. She ran maybe 40 yards.
pics from the tree..

sweet thing..only 200 yards from the truck
Headed back over again tomorrow for a couple more days of swamp therapy. Thank you Lord.RC

Good shooting!
A few questions for a deer and pig killing guru if you don't mind..
1. Was that from a climber or sticks and a hang-on?
2. How high do you climb in a lone tree like that?
3. Did you have a full leafy suit on in the tree or just the hat?
Thanks and God bless,
-Charlie

That was from a climber. I was maybe 14' high and I do not wear a leafy suit most of the time.I seldom climb higher than that. To much work,scary and no need.RC

To quote from the, " Bud Light " commercials....... " Here we Go !!!"
Look forward to RC's threads each year. He puts the hammer on the deer and hogs big time. I am sure we will have more to follow soon. Good shootin RC.... :notworthy:

Good ol RC. Cool camp and hunt. I was loving it until you threw that rattler in there. Then I was glad it's 31 degrees in Ohio. :bigsmyl:

Excellent pics and story as always RC. I found out why you like your Mohawk so much. I just got a 2pc Sparrowhawk, Bocote with brown glass from Vince. It's a superior bow in every way. Vince obviously 'sighted' it in for me, I was shooting 2" groups out to 13 yards by the end of my first shooting session with her. I'll hopefully find out soon if she has some MOJO too.
Congrats! :thumbsup:

QuoteOriginally posted by RC:If you don't like them, maybe just walk the opposite direction in the future as opposed to partaking in wanton behavior. This is a species on the decline anyway. If you planned to skin him up or fry him up, I wouldn't have said a word.
No skinning the buztail . I can`t stand them and dont touch them.RC
Nice job on the doe.
