Almost.................

Got to take a rare trip to the swamp on Sunday to walk around looking for pigs. As usual I humped it wayyyy back into the backside of the area to get tot he places that other ppl don't want to go through the trouble to get to. Spent the whole day scouting and stalking around. Got to spend a nice day out walking and got to take in the sights and sounds and....smells, of the swamp.

Saw a couple of turkeys, a deer, got the snot scared out of me by an owl but no pigs. The GPS said I had walked over 6 miles with nothing. No rooting, no rubbing, no poop. nuttin. So, frustrated, I head back towards the truck along a different route and a whopping 1/2 mile from the truck I find TONS of rooting. Although, it was weird. every cypress tree was rooted up all around the base. I couldn't figure out what they were eating for the life of me.

After about 50 yards or so I hear and smell some pigs doing their thing. I creep up to get in position and just as I get about 40 yards out they start moving off. I step up on a blow down, draw a perfect bead on a perfect eating size pig following him as he walks left to right and BOOM. I kill a tree.

Even if you hadn't seen anything, it was a sucessful trip. Anytime in the woods is good.
Was that tree good eatin'? :shake:

It was too big to pack out in one trip. I'm on the way back for rest of it right now

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ducked out early and went back out this afternoon. About 30 minutes before dark as i was easing my way back towards the road along the edge of some palmetto the wind swirled a bit and jumped a biggun about 20' off to my side.

He jumped up and ran in a semi circle around me before running off. I had him lined up dead to rights as he came out of the brush about 20' away and when I pulled the trigger I got nothing. No flash, no visible sparks, nothing.

I guarantee I won't try to squeeze so much life out of a flint from now on! :cursing: :barf:

You should have low crawled through that muck, you may have bagged a bigger tree. :rotf: I have a large pine on my property with a hole just like that. :grin:
