Title: Close but no hog
Post by: trad bow on February 02, 2013, 09:21:59 pm
Went to my lease in the Ga swamps this morning to do a hog hunt and scout some for turkey season. Temps started out around 39 degrees but warmed up to the mid 50's before lunch. I started out in the planted pines hunting the wet weather ponds. We have 5 ponds that vary in size from 1 to 15 acres. Got on a big hog first thing but couldn't get a shot thru the bulrushes before the wind swirled and he busted me. Here is a picture of the pond I found him in.                                                                                                                                                                            (http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt210/jeff-roberts/traditional%20archery/003640x480_zpsff8a2e0d.jpg)                                                                                                           I then moved to the hardwoods later in the morning and there was fresh rooting all over the sloughs. Guess that is where I should have started. I'll go back Monday morning and give it another go.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              (http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt210/jeff-roberts/traditional%20archery/006640x480_zps6677f9e5.jpg)

Oooh, a hog hunt!  That sounds exciting.  Good luck on your hunt!  I'd be interested to know everything about this hunt.
