Pulled the plug on spring gobbler season today. One week left, but the birds are so spooked they don't gobble much so I decided to get back to work on my .58cal. lite weight hunting rifle.
I had a good season..killed the limit...a nice spurred gobbler and a little Jake. I passed one jake, but my Ole Virginia wouldn't let the second one go by. Here's some pictures of the hunt I took this past wk.
Mostly scouted for coming deer season..these rubs are from buck I snapped on last yr. I found this spot where he had been hanging out last of last season and I didn't even go there. Will be waiting on him with my .58cal. this next season.
Rub
This big gator I caught as he was moving, looking for a deep hole. The water was real shallow along the road of power line and when they don't have a hole or culvert they can haul it too...they just try and pretend they aren't there. The closer I got the more he would close his eyes..like if he shut them and couldn't see me I couldn't see him. You have to be aware the swamp are full of these things during gobbler season especially and every water hole has one in it of some size.
Gator
I bet the boar hog cutting this pine has some big teeth.
Hog rub
Not a pretty site..and there is a little beard there..tried to hold Ole Zelldoe back..but she had already let one walk and had tasted blood.
Jake
another big rub
