Headed to the Swamp with my Good Buddy John this morning.We both had Honeydo`s to get done and had to be home by lunch so we decided to leave the boat and make a short Morning hunt on foot.


  We left the Truck at the crack of Daylight and headed in.After about a half mile we split up and decided to meet near at the River. I went a little ways down the access trail and saw sign of some other fellers ahead of me...




 After a bit farther down the road I cut through the swamp on a bearing that would put me down wind of a honey hole and the place John and I were to meet.Ran across a "trapper" along the way



 When I reached the River I owl`d for Old John and in a few minutes we were standing at the edge of one fine River Thanking the Good Lord for this morning...



  We rested a bit and headed towards the "hole".

 Just like it was supposed to the sign picked up when we got to and old swamp road closed on both ends.  

 Went a touch farther and heard some limbs crack.....

and then......?

Spotted some pork up ahead headed to my right. They were feeding kinda fast and I new I would never get to them quietly so I made a loop ahead of them and waited behind a huge Tupelo Tree. Took about 3 minutes.Pigs came across in front of me and I put the sneak on a few yards forward and heard the arrow make a loud crack!The pig ran into the palmettos and all was quiet...





After about a 50 yard snufferized blood trail there lay a fine grill pig.




 My first critter since I had eye surgery. The Lord has Blessed me.


  Only a mile and a quarter from the truck so out came the meat sack and in a few minutes the pig was boned out and in the backpack.




 Got Brother John to pose for a pic...



 Found a tree on the way out I will check again for sure in a about a month or so..




 Went by a wet slew and found this fella "cooling". Bad pic but thats a Fawn enjoying a swim.




Another good hunt on Public land.RC

       

Great job RC, putting food on the table as usual....

That's what I'm talking about!

Nice! I love reading your stories. I wish we had pigs to hunt around here. I can't hunt until early Oct. Keep up the good work.

Congrats RC !    

Looks like a great hunt!  Nice job!

Way up there RC!!! You have a talent storytelling all your own.

Sweet

Congrats RC!

mmmmm barbque

       

Nice white oak...you could probably kill more pigs than deer under that tree.

Sent an e-mail to swampfox@cybers... & got it back "invalid address".

I envy you sometimes RC! What weight are you shooting (bow, arrow, Snuffer)? Inquiring minds want to know. Well, I do  

RC, Is that a tupelo tree he's leaning on? I used to buy a lot of tupelo for duck decoys but I've never seen one. Great shot on the pig.  Greg

   

Way to go Robert!
