I went Sunday afternoon by boat to the marsh where we see lots of pigs around here.  It's tough hunting!  My buddy dropped me off on one island, and he and another young fella went to another spot.  I found lots of bedding sign on the first 10 acre island, and a hot trail connecting to another island.  I set up a ground blind down wind and took a stand for the last hour of daylight.  I didn't see anything, but my two buddies had hogs at 7yds several times but couldn't get a shot through the tall grass.  Here are a few photos I took.

 

 



 

 

 

Marty, your hunting pics always bring me back home. We used to hunt cedar hummocks and marsh edges quite a bit when I lived in Bluffton SC. No hogs there but lots of deer.

nice pics good luck next time.

I am so thankful you posted those pictures.

I just love it this time of year when I can see grass, even if it's brown...lol

Thank you for sharing.

God bless,Mudd

Mudd Sir, you are so right!

It makes me dream to see a landscape without snow!

Wonderful pictures

We come down there a few times a year when the tides and our schedules mesh. That IS some tough hunting! I've been within feet of hogs there and can't shoot. That marsh grass is thick and if you move too fast, it will cut you!
We got stuck in the mud last time I went, it was 7 hours until the water came up enough to float the boat. We were drinking water out of the bottom of the cooler!

Don't think that's going to take anybody by suprise.   :D

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. Heck with the hunting, I'd enjoy just sitting around a camp fire on that place.  

Good lookin' sunset!  Thanks for posting.

Do hogs swim or are they always on the island?

Beautiful pics.  

Beautiful pictures sir!  

Thanks for sharing the pics Apex.

Nice pics Brother.

Pigs swim very well.

Pigs do swim like you wouldn't believe.  They have to be strong swimmers, or the gators would eat them all.

 
Beautiful pics mate ...

Thanks man for sharing, your pictures put us there with you.

Nice pictures.  Looks fantastic as i watch another snowstorm drop 10 to 12" outside.  Keep them coming.  Living vicariously through your hunts will help get me through the winter.
