How many of you hunt swamps and do you hunt the edges? Do you find its a better morning spot?

 

[NJBackwoods]

I hunt a few on public land. I focus on travel lanes out of the thick stuff. Good morning locations.

 

[ICDeer]

Always hunted swamp edges ,most kills in AM

 

[RifledSlug]

Yes, yes and no.

Never see them in the swamps in the am but see them walking parallel to the edge a lot during the evening happy hour.

 

[sq2hunter]

I love hunting swamps as well. Good luck In am and pm. My buck this yr was on an edge in pm

I hunt the swamps from first of November on ..as soon as muzzeloader and the rut starts. My dad built my first tree stand for me when i was 15 in the swamp..killed a 5 pointer first time in it.

I love swamps. You see more unusual bird life etc..Had a buck wind me one time and rather than keep coming or go back he dove into a lake and swam awayTop that. Time of day never mattered. Hunting islands is even funnier when they come on and run around in circles as we blast away. I'm talking great swamp & mud that will suck you in not a small bog somewhere. Definiteley one of the more memorable places you can hunt[up][up][up]

 

[Devil Horns]

Yes. Mostly swamp edges and definitely see more moving out of the swamps in the afternoons.

End of October begining of November but genrally I'm pretty close to one. I like the area between the thick border area and the cedars. Seems in the pines they bed along the edges early and as the season progresses they move back into the cedars bedding on the clumps of higher ground. You need to be as quiet as possible getting in there and the wind must be right. Oh yea and you better stick em good in there.

Isn't everybody hunting a swamp this year? [rofl] I killed my first buck in a swamp (Crosswicks Creek), the bad thing about those spots is that it doesn't take a lot of rain to turn a boggy area into a full blown pond. The day I shot the Crosswicks buck I had to walk through water that was just higher than my muck boots-good thing he came in early-my feet were about froze!

 

[Stevo]

During 6 day when everyone is out and the pressure is on bucks will run straight to thick swamps.

I did in Pike county for a couple years. I never connected, but most guys that got deer there hunted just inside the swamp with very short shots.

 

[tdaly25]

Hunted a stand today that was nearly surrounded by water. Cool as heck when you can hear them moving through the water. Had more than 2 dozen deer under the stand today, just awesome!

 

[randolphray]

You track blood on the swamp reeds not on the ground[up][up] It is a hell of a mess getting one out[hihi]

 

[Stratus]

^^ I helped my buddy get a bear out, it sucked. But worth it in the end.

I use em like a Boogey Board Ray lol
