      Ok guys.... finally get to sit down at the computer. Yesterday mourning was a pretty good mourning. I saw two groups of about ten each and got to stalk both groups to within 50 yards but none offered a shot before they spooked. They were all out in the open, which is really weird I thought. The first group I saw was on a field edge and the second group I saw under some mast trees. I will be out again tomarrow, don't know if it will be in the mourning or at night.

      Also, got a chance to finally get to the archery shop and shoot the Mathews Monster. I have to say I was blown away. It is awesome. Nothing that is said on the internet, as far a s the negativity is true from what I could see. I will be getting one soon. I urge you guys looking for a new bow to go shoot it and check it out. Sorry, had to vent. Haven't stopped thinking of it since yesterday.

        Went out this last weekend. We camped at the primitive site. Friday - Sunday. We got into camp at about 1:30 Friday and set up camp. We hit the sumac about 6:30. We were on hogs about 45 min in. I took a shot, it was high... they ran. About 20 min later we rounded the corner and there was another group about 100 yards down the lane. We got to about 30 yards out. The light was all but gone and the wind was straight in my face. I was just about to take another shot and my buddy flips on his light... they just ran.

        Saturday went in about 5:30am set up in a dry creek bed and waited for some to pass thru. They finally did about 9:30... but they were running flat out when they came in. I decided to head back to camp and when I was going thru the sumac, I saw two bedded down about 25 yards in the weeds. I took alot of time to make sure I had a good aim. When i released the arrow it went into the jungle and took a dead left. They jumped up and ran out in front of me about 10 yards. I couldn't get another arrow ready before they were out of sight. That night we never could get close to them and Sunday Morning brought no pigs only sounds off in the distance.

        At least the crappie were hitting.

            QUESTION, what are the requirements to hunt there( permits...ect)?

            Comment


              If somebody could show me where the crappie are biting I might be willing to guide a little hog hunting trip....... I haven't had any luck with the crappie, they have been tight lipped lately.

                Things are going good out here but Im tired of looking at these giant Illinois mounts. The record buck was killed in this town just this year. 24 points, scored well over 200 points and dressed out over 200lbs. Hard to believe but i saw pics.

                They have big deer out here but these Illinois boys are drueling over hunting hogs in Texas. They dont have them up here.

                I should be home next month some time to try it again. Thats if Hill Country leaves us any hogs. LOL

                              Those Illinios guys will have hogs soon enough. They have them in Southern Indiana and have for years.

                                stuck one friday afternoon. Followed blood trail for 300 yards no pig. I havent followed a blood trail like that before without recovering. These granger pigs are tough.
