Default RE: semi auto choice for swamp hunting deer.

ORIGINAL: bigcountry

Hunterleo, thats a problem if it has flow. But if it has flow, its not really a swamp or is it? Either way, I prefer the shotgun. I have lost a deer or two in the swamps of the Eastern Shore of MD muzzleloading. They have this bay grass or fragmites (I think) that they can lay in and you walk right over them.
Dont know if flow makes a difference or not but this swamp is fed by a small creek like 6ft wide and less then 6" deep. Its all run off from the highland and is usually running one way or another. Aside from that i have Beavers living in the swamp damning the whole thing up and that is making what water that gets by have movement. I'm gonna take care of the beavers in due time.
