RE: who's hunting
well i hope y'all had a better weekend hunting than i did.....opening morning i had a doe come within 6 yds., but she was a lil booger so i let her walk...
fri. i was talked out of getting out of my stand for a few hours, biggest mistake of my life....while i was gone, he came by and scraped a new scrape right by my stand, i'llNEVER do that again., if i'm hunting , i will not leave at all until the end of my hunt and not a minute before...but as i was setting my climber up to climb, i heard something, a hog, i stalked him for about 15-20 yds. and took the shot at 15 yds., lung blood everywhere, called my sister, while i was talking to her another one came up,i hung up, lol..so i let it have too, but as i released it turned and i got a bad shot in the back of the head, again blood everywhere...tracked the one until i lost the blood trail, started on the other one, they both were great bleeds and then it just stopped...the lung one went east but i never found it, the other one went into the thickest , nastiest briars i have ever seen...it was dark at this point so i went and helped a friend look for his buck, he got a nice 6..then the next morning i went in and searched some more, found another 15 yds. of blood on the lung hog, then nothing again, no tracks, nothing..the other one went in the briars, i could smell it and i tried getting in there, but i was getting so cut up and then i cut my faceby my eye[:@]and said he wasn't worth it
...i tried but it was too bad, my clothes were being ripped,my hattorn off my head and then it got ahold of my hair, y'all don't have a clue what briars will do to a girl with long hair, lol...thorns everywhere and anywhere...it sucks but i had to leave it.....it baffles me to no end how hogs just stop bleeding....then i stalked for the rest of the afternoon, saw nothing....sunday, i had a doe feeding around me but the closest shot she gave me was 33 yds. ans i just didn't want to that shot because it was thundering and i was afraidit was going to rain, which it did,other than that she evaded me, lol...nice older doe too...i thought i had screwed my area big time by shooting the hogs and i'm sure i did to some degree but to see her there feeding for that long comforted my fears some...i don't have the next hunt there this weekend, so hopefully it'll stay scent free and he'll return...here's a rub he made just a day or two before my hunt, heck, it could of been that night for all i know...
so how'd y'all do ?
