Please keep your pics NO MORE than 600 pixels wide. Any wider that that disrupts the format, and they will likely be deleted.

Thanks.

Just another beautiful day in Montana :D A few of us TBM guys got together and tried to thin the doe crop in a late hunt up here. We saw tons of deer but didn't manage to take any home :( I think the temps ran from 5º up to a balmy 12º, remember it's a dry cold :D

Littlefeather,
Thanks for starting this thread! It is great to live just a little of everyones hunt. And to all those who posted pictures and or a short story, thanks!
Fire me off some hog pictures if you have any Littlefeather. Don't care if they are this years or not. Getting close now, I can almost smell Texas!
Take care all and God bless! Scott

Littlefeather,
Sounds like I need to try and hand carry one of my bows back with me instead of putting it on the ship with the rest of our gear! I'll figure something out, you can count on it!
Take care, Scott

Views from Pine Log WMA in N GA....

.
Wide hog crossing..

.
Creek sparkle and Mountain top....

I found a nice place to set up for the last hour and a half Sunday evening. I didn't see any hogs except those in my mind trotting in from both left and right of me.....

.
Left....Note the waller between the saplings beyond the obvioius trail.

.
Right...Note the trail leading into the crossing from the 10 O'clock position.

Here are some more pics of my buddy and his son and I shooting nutria. Two of them are pretty dark, maybe one of you confuser (er, computer) literate folks could lighten them up for me?

This one is my buddy's son with his first trad bow kill.

This is my buddy's son and I with a couple of nutrias. Note that the larger one is an albino.

This is one of my buddy and his son. The newt on the tree was head shot from 20 yards by the boy with a broadhead made by his pops. About as cool as it gets.

Terry...I think I'm a gonna cry....I kin practically smell bacon fryin lookin at those pics.

gregg dudley · January 11, 2005, 08:48:00 PM

Stan,

Nutria are listed as legal to take every place I have ever been and I do not think I have ever seen one. Are they mostly nocturnal or am I just not paying enough attention around the swamp?

I walked back into the swamp today. This is 7 Mile Island Mgt Area, bow hunting only, open the last month of the hunting season.

First is my swamp buggy ready to go.

This is a small part of the walk around the sewage holding ponds to get to the swamp. About a mile total.

Next is the before picture, before the tornado wrecked my favorite hunting area.

This is part of the area after the twister rampaged through. The deer are still there but it is impossible to hunt them in this section.

And more damage

Into the undamaged part.

The view from my tree. I was watching a draw off the ridge into the swamp. I heard a deer walking behind me on private land but saw nothing else.

Heres my little corner of heaven from last Saturdays hunt with Kyle. It was a beautiful spot, downright scenic. I wish I had gotten the creek in the pic better. It was rushing through there, and I was watching a crossing. The creek lulled me to sleep for about 30 minutes, no telling what I missed...deer?...bucks?...Elvis? I dont care, it was one of the top five naps of my life :D .

My friends and I have been doing deer drives efevry Saturday since the start of the new year. We have had many shots, but no kills until last weekend. After finishing a drive we were talking about what to do next when one friend took off walking down a creek bottom found a place to sit and waite. Ten minutes later he comes back to the truck and reports that he shot a doe. Thinking he was joking we walked down and sure enough she was laying 30 yards from where he shot her. You just never know.
