Well i was setting outside cleaning my saltwater tackle when some of my neighbors knock on my door. i was thinking " man what did they see" and they ask me if i could show some of there peoples from up north some FL fishing and maybe a little varmint's. I say i see what i could do and i rented a flats boat and got my gear ready for this. Friday i met the people i was going to take out.i ask them what they want to do, go shoot some hogs and varmints or fish for big in the bay or go about a 1/2 mile out and bottom fish. all 4 says they want the bottom fish and hunt. I told them to get there fish and hunting licenses and told them most of the varmints could be taken with a airgun and so get one if you wanted and i will have the hogs guns. Saturday comes and at noon my clients show up. I had ask tom for some guns and i had a sks, black-power 44 6 shooter, a gamo sliver shadow, Benjamin 392, mini 30 and a handi-rifle in 30/30. 2 of the hunters had got airguns one had a daisy 1000 and a 880 the other had a crosman 2100. I had my 2200,766, my noble 12GA, and tom gave me his 45/70 1895SS( he said get your own ammo for my guns) i also had the rods, ice and most thing we would need. I check to see if ever one had there license and we set off to were we would hunt. we got to the biggest island and set off after hogs. i found a nice big sow and the first hunter come up with the sks. It had a 5 shot mag. and i told him to keep shooting tell it's down. i got my 45/70 up and just before the shot isee it to high but before i could say anything he fires. the shot was on the hard shoulder and he just look at it. the hog was not down and came running at use and the rest of the herd was all over the place. I drop her with 3 shots from the 40/70 and after she was down i said " hell that was fun, let do it again" i took the pig back to the boat( i dress it out as best as i could) and the other 3 pigs kills were uneventful. one boar maybe 75 pounds with my 12GA with Pmc slugs, sow with 30/30 and the last the biggest i have ever seen a 203 ponder with my 45/70( he had the mini 30 and i told him use my 45/70 for this big one) after the pig hunt i ask if they wanted to go home and they no so on the the varmints. we got the varmints guns and i took them to the center of the island. it's flat here and i put out some bait out and waited. varmints islands has jacks, a few pdogs,i have seen woodchucks, coons,beavers,armadillos, nutrias,yotes,rats, wild pets(dogs cat and others) and lots of birds. we kill 10 rats here and then we walked around and killed a armadillo, a feral cat, and 5 coons. it was getting dark so we headed back and 6 nutria were killed and 2 beavers were killed from the boat on the way back. the next day i took them about a 1/2 mile out and the cooler was filled with snapper, grouper, blues fish and a spinner shark( which i had to clean because i was the only one at the dock that knows how). ever one liked the job i did and i got some tips. I help with the hog trophy and found a good taxer for them that would do it for a lost cost. after cover all my cost i made 200$. all i am is a 19 year old boy that knows some good hunting grounds. I am not a guide or outfitter i just did it because i was ask to and pay to.
