Thanks! Even with snow on the ground...the drag for 250 yards thru the thick junk has my legs howling!

Connected in the swamp around 3pm. 120# doe

I saw the same on facebook. Nice buck.
-
Regular or muzzleloading?
-
Got out to the swamp at about 2pm today. About 20 minutes went by and i heard two faint grunts. Was waiting for the buck to show from my right...i looked to my left and two small does came out. Then i noticed a bigger head and bigger doe. 35 yards to the ithaca with remington sluggers did the job. She went a total of maybe 15 yards. Quartering to me i took out the left shoulder. 120# doe...ill take it everyday of the week!

He needs another year to mature lol -
Headed out in about an hour or so. Im pullint out all the stops today. Rattle bag grunt bleat....hes gotta be in there somewhere! Plus a buddy of mine is hunting the other side of the swamp so we should have it covered fairly well.

Always hate reading the loss of a brother in arms. Guarantee that flintlock will be accurate and true.

11/25... day off. Had some stuff to do this morning so ill probably sneak out around 1. Gonna make my way down into the swamp!
-
Thats a crock of crap. Home depot is no longer on my list of places to frequent My whine for today....make sure you set the auto brew on your coffee maker to 530am...not pm lol

I agree. What i meant was not much pressure from the guys i hunt with. At one end of the land is a farmer who doesnt allow hunters. And yes we see the deer in his field on a daily basis lol. But they travel down this corridor/swamp to our area every year. The other end is town...no hunting. Across the road we normally hear all sorts of shots...this year i can count on one hand the amount of shots ive heard from that side. So into the swamp i go. Buddy said thats where the majority of tracks were so its time to find em!
-
That would be too easy. The elite superhunter ethics police are all over this place!
-
Congrats!
-
No new pressure as far as we can tell. I think its been the high winds has pushed them into the thick stuff, thats just me. Im gonna give it a whirl back in the swamp!

Ive shot powerbelts before and had good luck with them. But as someone else mentioned on another thread, there is cheaper and better performing loads out there. So im asking for your thoughts, maybe even some pics. Ill be shooting a cva kodiak pro using hogdon pellets and probably 100 or 150 grains of powder. Most shots will be less than 125 yards. Basically looking to find a load that is in the middle of the road. Then again im not opposed to heavy rounds either.
-
My friends use powerbelts and they never complain about performance or accuracy issues. Ive used them before too and i liked them. Ill probably be using them next year as im rebuilding my muzzleloader and this year ill be shooting whatever my dad has that performs well.
-
Good luck to you to. We used to have a stand on the trolley road but someone took it down. It sat up high enough to see both sides of the swamp and deer used to cross it all the time. Treeseat it is!
-
This swamp, wetland whatever you wanna call it is thick and nasty. One wrong step and your up to your waist in water! Ive got tomorow off so ill do my best to sneak down in there along an old trolley bed road.
-
Thats the plan for tomorow. Just wondering if they will eventually make their way back down to the more open areas.

So i still havent seen a live deer in the woods during gun season. Buddy of mine hunted our spot this morning and said zero tracks near our core area. But a ton of tracks down near and in the swamp area. Could this be because of all the high wind we have been having? Will they come back down to our area? Your thoughts? We were covered in deer during bowseason and its been a little dry lately. This area isnt heavily pressured during gun season, or bowseason for that matter. Ideas?
