I may go make a bow hunt later this week and also do some scouting.
I don't remember doing any scouting over in the Swaim road area but I drove in the area a couple of years ago.
I have been trying to hunt cut overs in the last few years after hearing and seeing some success doing that. Couple of years ago I saw movement out ~175 yards for just a second but thought it might have been a big Coon. I watched that spot through the scope for a while but did not see anthing again.
Well, 6 or 8 minutes later, I saw antlers moving off from that area. There was only one possible opening for a shot.......and I was still trying to find the deer in the scope when it passed that spot.
Those pine cut overs grow up so fast you can only see into them for a year of two before they get toooooo thinck to see anything that may be in there.
Is there still some interest in making a camping trip there for the either sex hunt on Oct. 31 st.??????
