I been huntin greenswamp for 6 years now, i have had the best luck sittin up inna tree stand on the edge of cypress swamps that are OFF the beaten paths, the deer and hogs both seem to seek refuge in the swamps, got to catch them on the way in or out...another big factor i beleive is timing(right place at the right time). I personally always am set up in my stand when its still dark in the mornins, but despite popular belief, you can see game in the middle of the afternoon when its warmest and windiest. Remember as chuck7 said look for signs whether they be scrapes or rublines, or hog rootens, if you find good signs, stay on em! but above all i think the biggest key is just being "different" from other hunters, dont go where you always see a bunch of trucks, because more than likely from the huntin pressure thehogs and deer (bucks especially) will get pushed back into the thickest of thick stuff (NO MANS LAND) and you'll never catch a glimpse of em. But the good thing for all of us is the rut is goin to start kickin in in the nextcouple weeks so the bucks WILL be on the move! Good Luck n remember be DIFFERENT!!!
