Well boys i got ran out of the swamp this morning. I was doing some trimming around the edges so they could get more morning sun. Something about 20 yards away growled at me. It was either a bear, lion, or a big male gator...haha whatever it was didnt chase me when i hauled ass so im guessing it was a gator..
I hate having to take a pistol out there but id hate fighting off whatever the fck that was even worse i bet...
be carefull out there swamp buddies. There isnt even that much water back in there.
ok so here is the update so far.
Left for a few days. Came back and about half of them where dead. Guess that little bit of rain we had didnt soak the dirt well enough. Since there is only 10 buckets out there right now i just used some of the babies still in cups to take the place of the dead ones. Been walking 2 5gallon gas cans full of water in to water them until the rains come. Sucks ass with cracked ribs but what are ya gonna do.
Go out this morning 2 buckets dug up by coons. Some rat traps in the TCs should keep that from going on much longer.
Ive learned alot and even if i dont get anything this summer im planning on moving out some 24+ inch females in August or whenever these are done... This is going off one way or the other...
