***Daily Hunt Pics and Stories 2005***

Doug- That is the owl stand, Had to move it when all the foliage came down. The hogs are really moving up and down that bottom.  You not gonna make it down till next Oct?
Yohon- my mom lives near Manning, in Summerton on Lake Marion.
Wally- where are you in NC?

Lee, I live between Raleigh and Louisburg. I, and a couple of my buddies, usually go down to SC a couple of times a year and hunt hogs on public land. The last two years have not been good, but we had a few good years before that with good success. I love to hunt hogs!

[Lee in S.C.]

The hogs have taken a beating on the WMA's. Great Pee Dee was flooded and the pigs have moved to surrounding private land. The ones that had alot of pigs were opened to dog hunts. Those guys can thin the herd quick! I usually hunt Santee Coastal Reserve every year and at least get shots, and usually kill a hog. I didnt even see one this year, good side is I saw more deer than I ever have. I heard that the dog hunters killed about 200 in a week long hunt last Feb. Hogs are fun to hunt but they get to be a nuisance quick.

[Wandering Eye's]

Earlier this week I set out a trail cam, and on the way in I saw 4 rabbits (old railroad tracks).  So Saturday after the foot of snow we got I thought I would give it a try.  Never saw a one.  I think I'll try again today.  

I do have good news for the yank's however.  I did see my first robin of the year!    

I do not know what that bird was thinking?  I did take a picture and will post when I get it back.  They say thats the first sign of Spring. LOL

This is the view of Ben Lomond from behind my house.



There are three species of deer in the area, Red, Roe and Fallow.

Hey, good lookin country Jock. Don't be shy with that camera.  Thanks

[Killdeer]

Got THAT right, O Rough One! I would like to see more of the land that my ancesters left behind. Calms my spirit, somehow. As I recall, you are outside Glasgow, right, Jock?

My folks (some of them) hailed from Whitinch.

Robin and Killdeer,

Not a problem, passed through Whiteinch last week but was workin, didn't have the camera with me, but I'll definately get some photos for you Killdeer.
Didn't think anybody would be interested in Scotland, seeing that Bowhunting is banned here.

[jeff w]

I too would like to see more of Scotland.  Jock, have you ever climbed/visited Ben Nevies?

[Jock]

Jeff,

Climbed it Feb, 1966, was on an outward bound course with the school, ate our packed lunches on the summit, was the coldest place I've ever been in my life, very special place and absolutely packed with Red Deer.
Will have to get some photos now, problem is the weather, the last couple of days have been fine but we have had an awfull spell of damp weather here since before Christmass, the light has been that bad I've had to drive with the lights on all day.

Jock, Great picture. A wonderful view, from you home. Makes you want to get up every morning just to check it out.

Thanks for sharing.
