huntertrapper:
yeah well i am tough aND HAVE WORKED ON ROOFS IN HEAT IN THE HUNDREDS AND ILL TRY I GUESS TO GET ONE. HOW MUCH ARE LICENSES? Thanks
Justin Snyder:
I hope you like short bows if you want to crawl through the palmetto and get a shot. Like maybe a 20" bow that pulls 60# and you can shoot from your belly. Justin
mullet:
More like one as wide as your shoulder.I crawled in a big clump of palmettos once with just a knife blood trailing a real big gut shot sow.The knife was just to make me feel good. If you hunt on private property,you don't need a hunting license

............HunterTrapper..I applaud yer enthusiasm. Crawlin' in palmetto thickets ya not only have ta deal with the hawgs but there is a few other nasty things in there. Like LARGE Rattlers an coral snakes, ifn ya get hit by a coral yer dead period, ya aint got the time ta get back ta the truck. Wild rose and bramble bushes and some other stuff ya may meet. No tellin' whats in there. Ya dont wanna be in the swamps at daybreak when the hawgs are, cause ya aint seen 'skeeters till ya try. We call em gallon nippers , ya can figure out why. Summer is the rainy season here and they breed like ya aint never seen. Hawgs have a tough hide so the skeeters dont bother em' much. Ifn ya wound a hawg and it gets in the palmetto thickets it has one thing on its mind. Hawgs have a ferocious will ta live and a boar er sow is gonna try ta get ta ya . In a palmetto thicket its no contest. Wild hawgs are real mean when wounded. This aint ta scare ya er put ya off just givin' ya some info like ya wanted. Gently said yer tough but hawgs er tougher. Trust me on this. Eddie and I have been huntin' em all our lives down here. Good luck...............bob
