    RIP Mox or Dawson

    I agree. It seems to be getting younger and younger people. From everything I'm reading theyre leaning heavy towards the preservatives in processed meats being a huge cause, primarily lunch meats, but also things like sausage and bacon.

    The TOO Dump Thread

    Hate to hear that for her. Proof positive she give it everything she could.

    Deer Kill Total

    I'm personally not surprised. Hunters are always looking for an edge and buying whatever they think will allow for better success. The DOW understands this and that's why they allowed weapons like crossbows and straight walled cartridge rifles. Increase opportunity and remove barriers to entry...

    FLORIDA HOG HUNT 2026

    Well, we ended with 3 killed, 2 wounded, 1 missed, and many seen. It was a difficult year due to the lack of water in the sloughs. This means the pigs have way more dry ground to live on and are far more dispersed. You can see from my OnX track how we usually do it. Follow the edge of the slough...

    FLORIDA HOG HUNT 2026

    Federal possum cop. He never found that white F-250 he was looking for. 🤣 Not that I did anything. For the readers, there's a Forest Service road gate that's usually locked to prevent people from joyriding and rutting up the road. It's always been open for pig season though. New area manager...

    FLORIDA HOG HUNT 2026

    Me either. Sucker's are really camouflaged and they usually don't fly off from what I'm reading. So it would make sense that Ive never seen one. Wiki says theyre fairly common. I bet you've heard one though. They sound like a whiporwill except the middle note isn't warbly. They're named from...

    I'd just be happy if you quit sitting on them. 🫣 🤣

    FLORIDA HOG HUNT 2026

    Its not the kind of place to screw around that's for sure. If you leave the road you better have onX, a backup compas, a light and a plan to be back on a forrest service road before dark. Navigating out of a cypress swamp in the dark is misery, even with a light. Without Onx or a compas you...

    When the wind stops a man can hear his own heartbeat. Old Florida. Wild Florida.

    Here's a Google pictures of it and its mouth. Fuggn strange birds.

    FLORIDA HOG HUNT 2026

    A cool sighting yesterday. John and I were driving out and saw eyes glow ahead, like a racoon or opossum. But then it flew up and down so we thought woodcock. As we got closer it didn't have a woodcock beak. Turns out it's a night bird called a Chuck Wills Widdow. A ground dwelling bird that...

    Live from Mississippi.

    Oh im sure from our limited understanding it's new and fascinating. We've mapped more of the surface of other planets than we have our own oceans. The ocean is a vastly unexplored and unknown place, the critters inside it even more so. Tracking sharks is relatively new, it seems like every few...

    They've always been here. We're just now getting technology to a point whwre we can track them efficiently and in more numbers. It makes for great headlines but I'd be shocked if any marine biologists were surprised. The ocean doesn't have fences.

    FLORIDA HOG HUNT 2026

    Mid 30s this morning getting up to 60s. Our best hunting has been evenings by far. Full moon doesn't help, I suspect they're feeding at night staying warm and then hunkering down in the morning. We're not the kind to sit at camp though.

    Back in the shit this morning. John and I are making a trek. Guess the route.

    FLORIDA HOG HUNT 2026

    Yeah. Fundimentals. Nothing bad could have happened except a little bruised ego, I'm always super aware of muzzle direction so it was 180 degrees away from John. I wouldn't even blame it on complacency. Just a slight of hand parlor trick that it managed to slide all the way forward in the...

    Man that's horrible. Sad.

    FLORIDA HOG HUNT 2026

    Military. Keep the weapon pointed down range, visually inspect the open bolt, close the bolt, keep weapon down range and drop the hammer. Weapon is 100% safe. Granted it shouldn't go boom. But if it does that's why it's done that way. Finding out right then while it's still pointed in a safe...
