First Off I want to Wish Every One a Happy Thanksgiving and Hope all of You Enjoy the Day with Your Family and Friends, but Most of all be Thankful for what You Have.
We Hunt a Piece of Property every Thanksgiving that has a Giant Swamp in the Middle of it, there's places you can only get to if you have Chest Waders and are MAN Enough to go in. If you can make it there through the 2 Creeks that you have to cross that are 4' deep and the Swamp Grass that borders the Swamo that has 2' of Water in it along with the Mile walk through it you'll get to the Woods on the other side where the Infamous (Double Pine Tree Stand) is
This Stand Borders the Swamp and is a Natural Funnel that ALL the Deer have to go by to get to the Swamp to Bed. There's a woods above it that is mabey 2 Miles from the road above it where the Hunters on the adjoining Property Hunt and is where the CORN is. The Deer Run to the Swamp in the Morning from those Hunters comming into those Woods to Hunt. Seldome do even those Hunters get close to the Swamp where My Stand is Because even with a 4 Wheeler you cant get your Deer out because of all the Water and Creeks that feed the Swamp.
But this is where you'll Get the BIG BUCKS and Smart Adult Deer. Im taking a Sled in with Me, the one's you use to carry your Decoys for Hunting Geese, it makes the Drag out a little easier, but not Much. I will see Big Deer in there but if I get one the Drag out will be over a Mile and a Half through the worst stuff you could Imagine, would You do it to get a Trophy Deer??
I'll be 50 this December 31st, but Im still as Tough as Nails and I just wont accept My Age, it wont be too many more Years befor I'll have to call it Quits on this Spot so befor I get there Im Going Deep!
I called a few of My Buddies that are Hunting with Me in the Morning and NONE of them will make the Trek with Me, they say Im NUTS, I say there Lazy some are close to half My Age and there Wimping out on Me.
I'll let you know if I make it out Alive......if you dont see OL Breechplug on here anymore you'll know I did'nt make it.
Happy Thanksgiving!
