Interesting, we tend to call any buck who's primary habitat is in swamp bottom that as they tend to be a unique hunting experience.

Not really all that intreasting.all the old timers refer to moose as swamp donkeys since moose love swamp land.a buck that lives in the swamp is a swamp buck.If you google whats a swamp donkey on defanition is moose the others arent animal related.one refures to kissing an ugly girl the other refures to sweaty....well you can go see yourself lol
