Default Comical Hunt Last Night

My brother and I set off yesterday evening to bow hunt. We hunt about 400 yrds apart on opposite sides of a soybean field. We both get into the stand about 6:00 and get set. After we are settled, I call him on the 2 way radio to tellhim about the fresh deer tracks and one set of hog tracks I saw. We chatted a couple of minutes and then got quiet. ABout 30 seconds later I hear a sound coming behind me. I look over my shoulder, and low and behold this hog is coming right down my trail I walked in on. He walked straight to the base of my ladder sticks and sniffed. He then preceeded to stick his nose into the brown paper bag of corn I brought to put out. I then tried to get a shot but couldn't because he was straight under me. Soon after he gave me a shot about 5 yrds away. As i Drew back he moved into a small thicket. As I watched him, I looked up, and there was a doe standing there watching and ran off. I called my borther on the radio and told him everything that was happening. He couldn't believe it. We talked for about 5 minutes. No more sign of the hog. Next thing I know, my brother(first year bowhunting) calls me on the radio and says that the hog is coming in behind him. The hog walked straight under his tree and then turned and walked off without presenting a shot. Unbelievable. The funniest thing was to watch the hog stick his nose into my bag full of corn straight below me.
