Was out in Bull Barn Grade last two days... Slightly disappointed at the number of reported pulls... Is it always that small? Had a blast though! Don't know if the boss will let me disappear for the last day of my quota. Although she did enjoy my waist deep in the swamp story...

Stopped to talk to the family of the guy who fell out of the tree on Sunday. Mom? Says the guy wasn't wearing a harness... I'm sure that I'm preaching to the choir here; safety gear use it! Took the EMTs quite awhile to hike in and extract that hunter. Thankfully he was stabilized and no life threatening injuries.

Field report: Plenty of fresh droppings and tracks... Observed ZERO deer directly LOL, thems the breaks. Hog sign again aplenty but zero direct observations.

Best of luck folks. First time for me in the swamp and I went DEEP as I could cutting it close if not late to beat first light. GPS tracked me to 1.4 miles in, I'm guessing I need to go deeper.
