Even inside the swamps. Always keep a gun within reach.
Hogs, Black Bear, Gators, Swamp Panthers, Pouchers !!!!
I have been cut up by wild boar hogs. Would rather get into a
fight with a chain-saw than have to fight a wild hog. Been there
more times than I want to count. Got the scars to show.
And when I say, keep gun in reach. I mean it.
Once, leaned a rifle up agaist a tree and took a few steps away to
check on a deer kill. Just that quick, as if he was waiting in the thicket for me to make my mistake. As I got on one knee, here he come, out of nowhere. He cut me open on my left leg and arm, then turned and cut me a up the back of my calf of my right leg up to my butt. Split me open like a melon.
During all this, just by the Grace of God, he flung me toward my weapon. Grabbed the gun and fired, him at full charge, placing my bullet in his forehead, knocking me back down during his fall. Thought I was going to bleed to death before I got to town.
.......... two guns
