Been lurking for a while. Figured I'd register and post up. Was out at the swamp Mon with my son. Got busted by 6pt early on when my boy slammed his rifle on the window of the blind. Had a doe come in 10 min left before sunset but no buck in tow. Drive either a Blue Chevy 2500 with a big Gator head in back glass or a Black and Green Jeep Wrangler. Feel free to flag me down or just stop and say hi if you see me out.

Went back out today to check a few cams before season ends. nothing but slicks on those two. Big thanks to the two guys that gave me a tug. Was cruising around figured I'd check a spot to see if there was any sign ,but a pair of guys were there so i figured I'd just turn around. Wrong answer got stuck 10 ft from their trucks looked high and dry. they were nice enough to give me a tug after a chuckle. Saved me from having to dig the ramps out of the back of the truck. And I just found a tick walking up my hand. Don't they know it's winter time?

Today is the last of deer season for green swamp. How did everyone do out there this year? I only made it out there for the second hog dog hunt, to take a couple boar hogs. After that I was only able to make it out once in gun, and saw 4 does.

Yea i saw a few of those "mythical" bucks when i was there scouting before hunting season started. The main problem i had this year was finding time to hunt them. I'll be out there a few times for small game to scout for turkey season, and hopefully take out a few hogs.

I had the same problem. Found several during off season but once season hit they turned into ghosts.

I knew some of the deer I saw would not be in the same area once the season started, but I had a couple spots that were 3+ miles off the road, that still held deer when my Cusin went during gun season opener. During small game I am going to hike back to those spots, and hopefully find that know one has hunted near there or messed with the deer. If they are still there, I am going to hit them hard during archery season opperner.

I know a lot of you guys that hunt GS use climbers. Maybe this isn't the place for this question but I was wondering if there's any trees that you guys don't climb because the teeth don't grip the tree. I plan on buying one for next year and it'll be my first, I've always just hunted on the ground.
