fun couple of days...

[RC]

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
