You guys have any bears around your swamps? North Carolina coastal swamps are loaded with some huge bears, wasn`t sure about SC.

No bears down here. Don't drink coffee, was trying to maintain balance with the mud sucking on my waders while balancing the shotgun and take the pic, sorry.

Congrats on the buck!
I live in western NC in the mountains, my friend has family down in SC and I've hunted down there with them. I have never been so thankful that I live in the mountains. I was down there with them one time in September and it sucked! Hot, swampy, snaky, huge spiders and spider webs everywhere, it was really interesting walking in and out of the swamp to the tree stands in the dark.
My friend and his uncle got lost one night after dark and they were walking along through the swamp trying to find their way out when all of the sudden the uncle sinks out of site in a hole! All that was left was his hat floating! My friend can't swim so he was scared to death! After they got on better footing they fired some shots up in the air and some others in the hunting party found them and got them out of there.

Lots of old rotted out stump holes. Those swamps are not for the uninitiated unless you have someone who knows them with you, and suffice it to say that mucking around them in the dark can be a qualifier for the Darwin Award. Leave it to those of us who grew up in them, and the rest of you might want to hunt the ridge tops or the power line and gas line rights of way.

When I take new guys into the swamp, I always lecture them NOT to leave the spot where I put them, even if they shoot at a deer. I always let them know that I will come back to get them and/or search for the deer if it ran off after their shot. This ain't no tourist attraction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
