i can see carlton arms ffom my house. have you killed anything in the swamp?

RE: green swamp wma in florida
 

If you can get out there during the week and try it one time. I have had alot better luck during the week. Scouting alot would help. Try and find a area with a good food source. I seen my only buck this year eating acorns. Good luck

i have found one area with alot of acorns with a trail leading into t from a stand of planted pines. i only hunted it once but i didnt see anything yet. im going to give ita few more tries.

Not this year ..but I've killed a spke , wild turkey anda hog out of there...I've also called or gotten 2 beautuful bucks with in 10 yds of my stand..both times my stands were facing the wrong way..[:@]I've had a doe and hogs directly under my stand in archery..got the shakey knees..so I am seeing the game..but still learning the lessons..
Lesson learned this year,

A. Make sure stand is facing in the right direction
Stand placement is VERY important.[&:]

B. Take offthe pull up rope off your stand and stick it in your pocket or pack..[&:]

C.Do not carry mosquitoe repellant in your pocket..if it leaks it will burn a hole in your leg. I had to pull off my pants and sit butt naked in my stand yesterday.:DIt will burn you up..in the rain..[8D]

D. Do not move..stay till at least 11:00 AM

E. Make sure you have enough shooting lanes ..they come in where you least expect.[&:][:@]


PS I did get one hog on private property this year..

WOW!! I've never seen a rub line in FLorida..well maybe an old one but nothing new..again ..I wish I could share more but my friend some use this forum as part of their scouting tools..;)[8D]so I can't say too much except EVERY year you will do better;)see more game. Also, IMHO the Green Swamp is the most difficult place in the world to hunt..once you start doing good here you can consider yourself a pro..:)I've hunted in 4 other states..piece of cake..BUT the Green Swamp..not so..this place will make a true genuine hunter out of ya..OR cause you to sell your stuff and quit hunting..:D
have a Merry Christmas,
