I got up to a small clearing that the hogs ripped up and stood there for a couple of seconds when I heard what sounded like trickling water. Quickly walked the 40 yards to where I heard it and a pig had just been rooting around and was walking back into the swamp!

I decided to try grunting at it and it stopped in the water but it was so thick in there I couldn't see anything. Ran all the way back around and through the swamp trying to get to the other side of the thicket knowing he had to still be in there. Made my way under the brush when I had heard some birds fly up to the left of me and something making its way through the water again. After moving toward the sound and seeing the fresh tracks that the hog just left I ended up at another thick part of the swamp where I couldn't see more than a foot in front of me. All of a sudden a growl and I hear the bush shaking. The hog's no more than 5 yards in front of me at this point but I can't see him. He's standing his ground grunting and growling at me and I fully expected him to charge at me so I just held my ground too with my gun ready. All of a sudden I hear him take off on the other side of the brush grunting as he runs further into the swamp.

Never actually saw him and never heard anything from it again. It was a great day nonetheless and got my blood pumping for sure!
