Ted Newgent 4,896 Posted October 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Day 2 weaved my way down the back roads and seen bugger all. decided to go in the swamp from another place. CRossed over a major beaver damn and settled down in this clearing. only in there 5mins and heard the wild boars squealing then i realised i had fckd up and only had 4 rounds of ammo and no shit paper. Pretty stupid of me. so back to the truck for more ammo. Stuck the caller on with baby pig distress and nowt came in.i wasnt going in after them as its thick hazel bush just come out for bite to eat and going back in again 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's a really wonderful experience! Any pics? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it like any our stuff depends on what meat you are getting mate lol elk meat is delicious,very slight 'gamey' taste to it,almost like beef moose is the same really. deer meat is really 'gamey' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
