This is water going across the trail . I have 4 nasty spots like this to cross before I get to my final destination. Darn file to large. Here is another picture instead.

Sorry fellows. The files are too large. Anyway...I think this place should better my odds for the Green Swamp. I saw no signs of man there. This place is hard to get to and 2 miles . If I get a big one I may be calling one of you to help me get it out of the swamp.Well here is another pic to show water going over one of the off roads.

Thanks,

I had better ones but the files were "too big"

Thursday a hunter checked in a nice 8 point that field dressed 158 1/2 pounds.

So now up to date DEER 12 HOGS 52 at the Rockridge checkin

I have a real bad cold and tried hunting yesterday. I heard hogs while it was dark but around 9:00 I started sneezing so I got out of my stand. I locked my Summit up out there. Where I hunt I have seen no human signs.
The water has gone down alot . I'm only hunting about 1 1/2 from the checkin station . But I'm a good mile off the road. 30 min. walk.

PS I plan to go next Tues ---Thursday. The gate is 40 minutes from my house. I fish on Mondays and Fridays at Tenoroc. Specks are biting.

As I said in an earlier post..something has happened to the deer population in Green Swamp..I don't know if Swift Mudd employee's are killing them..the hog trappers..both have unlimited anytime access to the area..or if they are just being poached out by boadering land owners who have the only access to lots of Green Swamp land..or a little of all, but the deer are getting killed out and not going through the check station anymore. Just a little over 20 bucks at the 471 station when it used to be in the 90's at this time.
There's still some good ones in there..I hunt it just about every day..not like I used to due to heart problems, but still get a mile or so from vehicle. This is one of the rubs the buck my 7-30Waters missfired on.
Stay away from powder if you don't have 4wd. All other roads are ok. You can't get down Strand Hammock Rd...the nice people at Swift Mudd plowed it up just before the season..can't ride a bike or walk it very far.. any farther than where Levi crosses it..the bike tire will sink up 2".
I heard they killed a big heavy mass 16pt. at Richloam and have it's picture at the check station.

Been hearing hogs but still no shot. I wouldn't mind meeting one of you guys out there befor ethe season is over. I'll be out there tomorrow around 5:20AM MOn. morning
PS Real nice rub Ifly
