There was more water out there than i have ever Sean. Should make for a great year with the later season in place.

Thanks guys...I heard from some guys at GSW there ain't been all that many hogs taken in the green swamp hog hunts...Yea lotta water at GSW to and they are callin for a El Niņo winter which means it will more than likely stay wet all season...I gotta get to GS n Richloam to do some archery scouting and gotta scout Croom for the ML hunt in a couple weeks

I am trying to make sense of the amount of water being an influence on the hunt. It really seems to be opposite of what I expect. More water is better than less?

I AM THE WOODS

All depends on the type of hunter you are...some folks like huntin flooded swamps while others prefer high ground...water deters a lot of people due to snakes gators n just not wantin to get wet...usually on wet years harvest numbers are down quite a bit for this reason...some areas are just not accessible with so much water

For me at least, finding deer or hogs is easier in wet years. The high water also makes them use high ground that gets rid of some cover possibilitys, by not allowing them to stay in flooded cypress swamps

Personally I always do better during the wet years. The water doesn't bother the deer, they will still use the swamps. How's the croom gen gun hunt? Is that quota only the whole hunt?

I AM THE WOODS

Yea I don't mind the water either...it's decent lotta does in there but there are some good bucks in that place...its first 9 quota then after that it's open to whoever and however many...1 month long season usually produces around 80 bucks and a few hogs, a lot of deer don't get accounted for due to the check station only bein manned the first 9 and lotta ways in n out of the place...all in all a purty good wma...but does get over crowded

So 80 bucks during the first 9 days? Wow!
