A quick hunt Saturday morning on my new property before Chase's football practice. Squirrels were elusive, must have been the 86 degree temp @ 7am. Couple of close calls but no real shots offered.

Old logging road, 26acres, our new log home should be finished by Jan so I can hunt this bout everyday.  

 

No squirrels but plenty of stump monsters died. Nice to be able to pass along the love of the hunt without actually having to bring back any game. The smile says it all.

Steve, looks like the goat's helmet sticking up above the rock.... is that actually a pic before the shot????????  If so, must have been a quiet camera - he looks close enough to hear you thinkin' hard!  Now that's a hunt!  
Same goes for the 9 foot caribou.
Quite an accomplishment on so many levels!!!!

[JasonV]

Here's some pics from one of my favorite hunting spots. Chickasawhatchee WMA, 20,000 acres of swamp with a good hog population and less than 20 minutes from the house.

I took my buddy Rusty Thompson Saturday morning and he scored on his first and second wild hog. The second hog was a perfect heart shot. What a day!

Curtis,

Here is my 2005 bear.  Shot him at 18 yards through the top of the heart with a 53# River's Edge recurve and a Woodsman on a 2020 shaft.  He went about 40-50 yards and piled up.

Great swamp pics Chris, you be sure to call fer help if yer over run with hogs down yonder       Is yer bud shooting one of Gene & Larry's bows? Got some of them myself, fine fellers and great bows.

Nice bear Stan, hope to get me one someday.

Congratulations to all you folks who harvested such fine animals. Thank you for sharing them. All of the pic's are just grand!

[Chris]

Joe,
That's a G&L. He won it at the TBG banquet 2 years ago. That was the one with the Mastadon inlay. The year before that my nephew won the G&L bow. The year before that I won an Archery Traditions Canebrake and Cory Mattson's cookies. We've got a lucky table!

You need to come down and walk the swamp with me sometime. It's open for hogs now til February 28th. I went tonight and saw deer and turkeys, but not hogs on this trip.

I'd like to see the January TBG hunt moved to this WMA. Joel and I talked about it, I'll have to bring it up to the new guys.
