swarping

Usually done in the fall. You and your family or friends, or by yourself if you're that desperate, take a ride in a small truck or jeep, leaving at around dusk. The whole intent of swarping is to see a Buck (male deer). The first person to see this creature is immune from buying the end treat, continue this until only one person is left to buy the end treat. Swarping is not only about searching for a Buck, generally you take the backroads, the boonies, "grandpa's shortcuts". Essentially getting lost. Swarping is a bonding experience, enjoyable for all ages. The end treat is usually Icecream. The act of swarping is usually done by Appalachian Americans, rednecks, southern folk.
