Chickasawhatchee TBG Hunt

[Al33]

I had been packed and ready to go since Thursday of last week but unforseen circumstances prevented me from going until Saturday morning. Only got to hunt Saturday evening but sure enjoyed the dinner and chat around the campfire Saturday night, it alone was worth the long drive down and back.

One little piggie met his doom and another nice hog narrowly escaped an arrows path. I did not see a pig but they are obviously in there somewhere.

Here is a group shot and Dan making a hatchet bow from a piece of hickory.

Al,
I sure would have liked to made it down, but had a blacksmithing demo at Fort Dobbs in Statesville , NC all weekend. Maybe next year it will be on one of my off weeks. How did you like the swamp? We hunted pigs the last weekend of small game season, but they were burning off, and all the sign we saw was a couple days old.

Looks like a good time.

I need get practicing with my recurve some more.

I had a great time visiting with everyone. Mosquitos haven't set in too bad yet, good food and company and the weather was perfect.

Clay Patton made the only kill for the weekend. Here's a picture of Clay as we were trying to find a shallow spot to cross the creek coming out Friday night:

I've started compiling all my photos from hunting Chickasawhatchee in a Web Album located here for anyone that's interested in seeing the swamp:

Lots of cool pics. Thanks for sharing. After seeing all those cottonmouths, you won't have to worry about me invading your hunting grounds.

If yall ever want to let a boy with a compound come along, just let me know! I saw three there saterday, i had a pretty good one at 40 yards, but there were some vines in the way so i couldnt get a shot.

CPowell,
Compounds are always welcome in our camp. That's how most of us started out. I've seen quite a few guys try out a longbow or recurve and next thing you know they want to buy one, then their compound is up for sale. These bows are highly addictive!

I live about 15 minutes from the WMA, we'll have to hook up for a hunt.
