........Justin.............Water mocs are USUALLY by water er real damp ground. Most palmettos are dry, I say most but not all. In swamps edges and river bottoms they wont be dry. I say usually but I have seen em' in there when I used ta go in ifn I had too. Darn right I would also rather have a hawg than one of them. Corals are the real ones that are the problem. Like I said in the other post ifn they hit ya especially from the waist up yer dead. Below ya maybe got a chance but its iffy. I NEVER take my bow in them with me if I have ta go in. I use a special short spear I made when I go in ta keep the hawg offa me ifn it comes at me Ya know hawgs deserve respect, they can be very dangerous with a ferocious will ta live. Amazes me that the literature written and hunters dont respect em. That is until they wound one and have ta blood trail it and then they find it went inta a palmetto thicket. Oh yeah, we call em' tree spiders. Usually they are high between trees but ya find em in palmettos thickets. They are as big as yer hand. Nothin' like havin' one of them boyz on yer ta wake ya up and break yer concentration in there. Ifn there are hawgs in the thicket ya probably wont find snakes 'cause the hawgs eat em up. Ifn the hawg just ran in, all bets are off. Betcha Eddie could tell ya some stories as I can..............bob

I think the worst thing about crawling through them is you are looking for drops of blood,snakes and pi$$ed off hog in that order.You are usually soaking wet from sweat,and the very worst thing is those little carpenter ants biting the crap out of the back of your neck.

Dang you guys are making it sound so good I can hardly wait to try it. Justin
Justin Snyder:
Did I mention I don't like leaches. EEEEWWW Yep, Ill take the dry palmetto. Of course when it is raining in the swamp, there isn't any dry is there. Justin
