Randy and I paddling in to chase some hogs. Well, I was paddling my kayak. Randy mounted a trolling motor to his canoe.

As we landed we were greeted by a dark fishing spider about 5.5-6" in diameter.

This wallow hadn't been used in the last day or so, but it was a popular spot for sure.

I'd bet this old rubbing tree could tell some stories.

"Paddling" out.

Randy wanted to see how long the battery would last towing me. About 3/4 of the way back.

I know Randy has some better pics of one of the gators. Hopefully he'll share those and more. We had a great time even though we only managed to spook some hogs. No shots taken other than a couple for target practice. Let's do it again soon!

Darren, Randy
That looks like a great time out there.
Darren, when do you not have a cigar?

Craig - when I'm inside the house, lol.

We had a great time. Looking forward to you making it back down this way.

Nice hearing from you Darren and great pictures! Usually do that during spring gobbler season around here a couple of times.
