I think you are on it except maybe add that after you get dressed and get ready to leave the vehicle, you have to go number 1. Since you drank soo much coffee (because the heater in the truck wasn't warmed up yet) and had to go number 2 at the stand!

Reb,
I'm with ya there. When I lived down there the guys used to bring it into work after they killed them. I cooked some myself and it was awesome

RE: Things that are wrong with southern hunting
 

I was wadeing a swamp in Bull Creek in fla. and saw the most hugest spider in my whole life, it was just above the waste high water line and it had a huge crawdad that it was sucking the juices from. It wasn't no crab either as this was fresh water and land locked. It was freakin huge and would of made Ripleys believe it or not. I just have a phobia of spiders and I get a chill just thinking of it. One good thing about where I'm at is spiders don't get no bigger than the size of a quarter. I'd rather take on a griz, or snakes, gators or a 6'-8" drunk, or even sneak in at 3:00a.m. in the morning than to have to deal with a spider. I was down there one time and my ex and my mom and I were going out for dinner and I drove the car. As I pulled out of the driveway, the worlds second biggest spider, (wolf or loosafer sp) sprinted from the dash and went racing up the windshield towards my head, with the car still going out the drive I tried to jump out of the car but the seat belt keep me from escaping and I couldn't rationally unsnapp it. I knew I was dead from fright. Some how the car stopped and my mom looked at my wife and said, "I never seen Bobby loose his self composyer like that before" :(.

Good Day. ;)

RE: Things that are wrong with southern hunting
 

Well now my 10 degree snow covered hunt doesn't quite seem so bad anymore..:DActually hunting with snow on the ground is awesome, you seem em easier and it's a helluva lot easier to track. Even the 10 degrees isn't that bad as long as you dress for it, and you get used to it after awhile. I can't imagine walking through the brush and about step on a rattlesnake...*shiver* Call me a nancyboy but no thank you..;)

REbel Hog, You da Man.

RE: Things that are wrong with southern hunting
 

I don't know if it was bias or what--but you forgot ot mention the wild boars(HOGS;)) coming out from under your feet in the palmettoes!!

RE: Things that are wrong with southern hunting
 

I agree with that. You can see them quite a ways out with a good snowcover. Problem is....they can see you too. I always get a kick out of setting stands up for bowseason that I can barely find in October when bowhunting because they are concealed so good. Come middle of December you can see them from the road a mile away.

I think unzipping my ground blind while it's still dark and getting in it to be greeted by a rattlesnake would absolutely freak me out.

RE: Things that are wrong with southern hunting
 

:D:DHa! HA!, that's so common we don't even give ita thought!

RE: Things that are wrong with southern hunting
 

[:-] Are they that dangerous though? From what I've seen they can't see 1 foot in front of them. I've also seen that they don't mind charging people either[:-]

RE: Things that are wrong with southern hunting
 

NY, we don't worry about the piney rooters, these are the one's that will attack and follow your scent with thier eye's closed!:)
