This would be awsome! who told you this information? sure hope its true.. and yes sir i have a pretty good hog spot myself its just so far back in there that its not really worth the effort in getting the thing out lol but i might smack one down as well during small game and scout around for next season too. do yall usually have more luck with the bucks inside them cypress heads or on the edges? ive killed 1 green swamp buck, a 7 pt and he was on the outside of the head out in the field feeeding

I don't know bout the season bein extended but the 3 pts on a side will start next year in B zone (green swamp)

Yea looks like they are gonna try passin that 3 point one side state wide...it will make huntin a little tougher but within a couple years we should see some better bucks bein harvested...

One of the last days I hunted there were 2 fellows praising the Lord..One Christian man had a 6 and a 7 point running by his stand...His 30-06 dropped them both with head shots...He had driven from POrt Charlette...3 1/2 hour drive..so he was thrilled and praising Jesus...another Christian man was walking in and flushed a 6 point..00 buck shot laid the buck to rest...He was elated...I never heard about the late season coming but I heard about the 3 points on one side for next year..I'm glad..I don't hit my best spots until the last week i Dec...Ever since I've hunted in the Green Swamp..I 've noted they have a late rut,..I hunt with bow at different spots..I save my best spot for firearm in Jan. 1st. no since stinking it up..
I hope there is a later season..simply because it takes our swamp a couple months to semi dry up from the July and August rains..I was in one stand on Tanic where I saw a nice deer....however 3 bull gators were very close to my stand...freaked me out..I had walked up on a big deer but because of the angle I couldn't see antlers...so I didn't shoot.

Yea i heard about the guy got the 6 n 7...thats awesome to get 2 bucks in one sit...yea i try mixin up my spots to prevent over huntin them...yup later season would allow it to dry out some...dang... i hada decent gator wrkin one of the cypress heads i was huntin...kinda scary walkin thru that water in the dark knowin a gator is layed up in there

yes sir..after that I began showing up at that spot at 6:30AM...you had to wade through 200 yds of water...there was a ridge of palmettoes in the swamp..the deer were bedding down there..I only hunted that spot twice..I only hunted 7 times total this entire year..I do plan to hog hunt a couple of the Saturdays...Lot's of water this year...My Powder grade spot , the water was even with the top of my boots. I did walk that area in the dark..and that was scary...

Cool deal...yea that water made it tough gettin to some areas i hunt as well...but i think all the water helped me too...i think the area where i shot my buck was an area deer pry wouldnt of been usin if not for all the water around it...so water can definitely be a game changer either way
