Default RE: Swamp Hunting

Hunted marshes for 20+ yrs.
Hunt marsh/swamp about 50% of time on our lease farm.Took my 05 buck in the marsh and 06 buck on edge of marsh.

Great potential.Some real Big Boys can lurk deep in them swamps.
Scout the area before you go hang a stand any old where.
Don't hang a stand anywhere near a breeding area in swamp.

You gotta be very careful - sink holes,ditches,muck.
Step in the wrong place and your up to your waste - not good and will scare the crap outa you! Been there on 2-3 occasions.
Thought I was gonna meet my maker!!

Deer will lay/hide in marsh when pushed.They will go deep in areas you would never dream they could even walk.The older the deer the more often they might hide in these areas.

Be careful not to ruin the Hot Spot you think you have.

Good Luck
