RE: GETTING THRU THE SWAMP?
Most of my hunting is in a large swamp..the Green Swamp of central Florida.
1.First of all find the place where you think the deer or hogs will be.
2. I then use trail tacks to guide me to my stand. I tack out the driest trail possible. Gators and snakes are very active during bow season.
3. My stand is dead in the center of muck and thick stuff...yet my trail tacks guide me 90% through decent terrain. Only the last part I don't think any hunter could find.My trail is nearly all dry except for the maybe 20 yards.
