Deer hunting in the swamp - 11/10/16
I'm fortunate to live close to a creek bottom that is hard to hunt. When the water is at low levels, like it is now, it is really hard to get deep into the area. But, the son and I decided to give it a try this morning. We hit the water shortly after daylight, because we knew it was going to be tough going.
Took us more than an hour for a run that is normally 30 min or less.
Got to where we wanted and got in the climbing stands. I hadn't set in my stand 10 min. when I heard my son shoot. About 10 min later he texted he had a 6 pt.
So I got down, loaded my pirogue and took off to help him. Now the trip in was easy compared to the trip out. It took us an hour and a half to get out. I think I will wait till it rains, before going back to the bottom.
Couple pics of the bottom.
