Title: Green Swamp Scenery
Post by: charlieparrish on February 09, 2011, 05:54:49 PM
I went out scouting again today..saw some turkeys ..one of which was a red phase hen..I didn't get any turkey pics...but I did take some pictures of the area around my homestead in the Green Swamp in Central Florida where I regularly hunt.

That old bus was "Pappy's Camp" and outfitted with beds and a cook stove...but that was before the government took the land...Pappy was a descendant of some of the early settlers in this area ...I didn't check it for snakes today ;D

 Nothing like the different terrain of hunting birds across this country..... Cabbage palms, live oaks of Florida.  The mixed hardwood hills and pine plantation of the eastern.  The fields of cactus and blue bonnets in west Texas on a rio hunt.....The black hills and mountains out west chasing the merriams..........Gotta love it... ;D

Bill, I often hunt in Marion County along the St. Johns River...beautiful country and lots of turkeys... and bears..That is a good looking Osceola you have there...and looks like an old cow pen  behind you.

Porter, why would be thinking snakes when you are sitting in 8 degrees below zero??!!..My brain would be frozen!!

the smell of that Florida air, a cool morning and those lomgbeards going beserk.....
I cannot wait.
Tha torments me not being able to be there right now.
Great pics Charlie

about the only benefit I can think of with wild hogs .....if there are enough of them ---I understand they will eat those snake. Usually dont see that many around my place down close to Charlies....and that a good thing. I bet that ole bus if full of em...you'd never ...never get me in there. Heck --they even have another snake down there I dont have where I hunt here in Tennessee---a nasty little one---Coral snake----it effects the nervous system---Porter has obviously fallen victim to on of those somewhere in his past.....
I would rather run into any gator as one of those pygmy rattlers, diamonbacks, water moccissin or aven a green snake for that matter.
I hate carrying that many DEPENDS in my vest !!!!!!
