Now that dear season is over, I'm looking for a place a little closer to Orange to bowhunt for hogs. Has anybody been in there the last couple of years? If so what are the best access points to dry land (I have waiters, boat and pirogue) and the best means for hunting the swamp?

I hunted it in the fall of 2012 and posted a thread about it, with some good comments from others. I parked under I-10 and paddled in. Tons of broken window glass under I-10(we left our truck unlocked with windows down to avoid being a victim). We also bumped into an unoccupied meth camp from the land portion. The biologist told us the higher the water the better, as it concentrates the hogs on high ground. Here is link to my old thread

Anyone ever hunt coyotes in blue elbow?
I recently contacted tpwd and was informed that night hunting for coyotes is permitted in blue elbow swamp and was wondering if anyone here had any info that might prove useful. I also have hog hunted here a few times from pine bluff road. Sand ridge is full of hog signs but I have yet to see one. A few weeks ago I heard something big moving through the palmettos but I must have scared it walking in and whatever it was took off through the brush.

Yup
I went squirrel hunting back in February. If your after hogs check out the area north of pine bluff rd where the creek crosses. Hunt along the creek bank along the cypress trees and you'll find them. If your feeling adventurous take the gravel road to the south that runs along the creek and hunt sand ridge near the pipeline right of way. Only problem you'll encounter there is dragging out your game as the briars tend to be on the thick side there.
