WISCOANDY wrote:Just listened to this podcast a second time, and then read this thread. Very well done, and thank you for doing this. I joined last winter, and am just hunting beast style for the first time. I hunt a private land cedar swamp, and while I did a lot of scouting last winter, it is still overwhelming. This info helps break it down and hopefully I have something to show for it.

Also, in the podcast you recomended that newbies to swamp hunting should go with an experienced partner at first but i don't think that's possible for me, if I was to start practicing just looking for entry and exit trails in smaller local swamps and practicing walking into the swamps would you have any safety tips or things to make sure to do?

Regarding bear in the boreal swamps, it is such a large prospect... the areas I frequent are absolutely loaded with bear and the swamps will be an excellent place to start. The swamps in the boreal forest areas I frequent will give me sightings of 7-10 bears per hunt.
Bears are much more difficult to get out than deer... keep that in mind especially if you hunt by yourself. There's no need to go deep in areas with low pressure. If there is a lot of pressure you should adjust a bit, but the swamps are so impenetrable you shouldn't have to go very deep.
Safety tips, someone needs to know the location of the area you are hunting. If something happens to you, such as a shattered pelvis fall, the search teams need to have at least a general area to begin. If you can afford it a SPOT SATELLITE MESSENGER unit and a subscription will provide added security.
In areas with poor cell coverage, remember that a text message will go out in its entirety with any tower connection- however brief. Trying to make an emergency call will often have the call dropped over and over... and getting a complicated rescue message out may not be possible.
A tourniquet, a few bandages and an ACE wrap in your pack are never a bad idea. Tourniquets are very light weight and there are plenty of videos to watch as far as application and technique. Take the time to view them. The bandages are for literally stuffing them inside the wound if it is deep. An ACE wrap over the top will create a pressure dressing.
Hope that helps, ask questions any time. Bridge

Bumping it because it's a really cool breakdown.
