hunting a scrape and rubs...will not give details.

Saw 2 big bodied deer running into a cypress dome...that makes 6 deer seen so far this year..at the Green Swamp

Lots of campers..and hunters..more than usual..heard about 8 shots before 10:30 game wardens everywhere ...I was checked as well.This year they are hiding in the woods..I'm serious.

i really love to hear that LE is in the woods, but then again i am not, most of ours won't go into the woods unless there is reason, they don't want to walk around and ruin it for us.......at least that is what i was told at one time...glad youre seeing some deer as well......Good Luck

There were 4 different trucks on Powder,,,a jeep was pulled over..I can't beleive how wet the swamp is...I'm ok with it. It was cold enough this morning that no mosqitoes were out...They came out at 9:00

Chuck,

Glad you have seen some deer. I have only hunted five times this year, but seen nothing yet. )-: Where you stoped by the game wardens in the woods or on a main road? I really like that they are out there.

I am bummed that they are trapping hogs at green Swamp. I was planning on trying some hog hunting during small game season, but I may try to find another WMA. )-:

Slay a big one for me.

Cheers,
Chris

They were backed up off the main roads and on the main roads..I saw about 7 different wardens in all. ..

Chuck,

Wow, 7 wardens. I wonder if there are some serious voilations at Green Swamp. I would like to think that most of hunters are legal and ethical, but like Huntnma said that wardens would not be wondering around unless there is a reason.

Cheers,
Chris

I love the wardens...lessens the rift raft.

Chuck,

I agree 100%. I don't really want to be in the woods with people doing illegal things. Not to mention if they are armed it is not a good situtation. I like to see the wardens too.

I am glad they are there enforcing. I want to find one (warden)to clarify if I can use a muzzleloader during small game. But if they (SWFWMD)are catching all of the hogs at Green SwampI don't know if I will go hog hunting at Green Swamp. )-;

Cheers,
Chris
