HuntnMa Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Fridays hunt:Yesterday was nice, cold as can be, but i finally made it to my creek stand on the north side...tried to get there a few times but i was always side tracked by hogs, so this time when i heard the hogs, I just kept on walking, lol....got off track 2 times, so I got to my stand just after daybreak...saw nothing but a racoon...it was sleeping in the tree in front of me, at first it just sat there looking at me , then decided it was ok and climbed to a Y in the tree and slept there all day...anyway, i didn't see a thing other than that and I was a lil concerned about losing my way on the way out, so I decided to slip out early just in case, lol...I heard pigs, so i stayed there for about 20 minutes listening, I finally saw them, a huge white one, couldn't get a shot on her/him...then i saw another one rooting, so i took my shot, it dropped, squealed and ran off I went to go look for it and I saw an ear on the other side of the creek as I'm looking at it, i can hear and see hogs scattering everywhere, must of been 15-20 of em , all 100lbs or more but the one lil itty bitty one...then i hear one crashing through , coming right at me, i had to shoot her too...I love my new 243, she dropped and died right there....so I doubled, first time ever...they weighed 106 lbs. and 104 lbs. Thank God I have great friends....Jim came and helped me, i thought it was only a couple of hundred yds. from the parking area, it was more like 1,000, lol...he was hating me, lol...I told him I'd clean his house, buy him a case of beer and give him backstrap, lol....I owe him bigtime...on the way out, we got off the trail and the flashlight began failing, lol...we had to call Tom to come get us, lol...i owe him too...if it weren't for them , it would of been midnight before I got the hogs out, that is if i could of seen the trail with my lil itty bitty light, lol...note to self:bring bigger flashlight :gr The pics don't really show the size, but they were bigger than they looked.
