Default RE: Big Old Hog

I hope you get him!


My buddy has been having trouble with this bigboy. I was at my lease the otherday and my buddy told me to hunt for him because he been tearing the place up. Well, I slipped into the area and checked his camera first. BIG MISTAKE! Little did we know that the hog walks in right beside the camera. I sat and hunted and at 8:30pm I hear him coming. He was actually pretty quiet and alone. He walks up about 6 feet from the camera and stops. I knew he smelled me and the game was over. I didn't have a clear shot. He takes a couple steps backwards, then turns a walks out without making a sound. I had showered and sprayed down but I was still sweating like a mule by the time I got to the blind.
Since then the feeder has been demolished. However a young kid hunting with his uncle shot the pig with a 30-30. I was glad to hear that a kid got it! I think it weighed in at 270lbs.


Those big hogs can sure tear up some stuff. Anchoring feeder legs is a very good idea.
