I'm really more interested in the hogs, but if I can hunt both in a general archery season as Somerville has I'm sure going to get there to scout out the area adequately before October. I want to go through Sorefinger and Willis before heading over to Somerville though. I think I can get the smaller acreage at the Somerville WMA scouted out in about 3 trips or so which would probably take me a month and a half to get in. So I should start by mid-August. Until then I want to get in those last areas of Granger I haven't dripped sweat all over yet. I found that the primitve campground area, the area below the dam (North side of the river), and the area halfway between gates #6 & #7 (pond) were all good. I also wanna go back for that sow I saw near the P.C. campground area when I shot my first pig the other day. She was freakin' onery and huge. I picked a smaller pig because even though I wanted that hog, she was just way too much for me by myself to get out of there with that approx 2 mile hike/drag back out to the parking area at Comanche Bluffs. The medium-ish sow looked easier to get out and I assumed more tender, so I begrudginly opted for that pig over her. She was a happy medium between the numerous small ones and the big sow. I have been reliving that scene over and over...about 5 minutes after I shot her younger/smaller herdmate she came back by herself to stare at me from on top of a rise overlooking where I was waiting to follow up my pig. The rain was pouring down hard as heck by then (and made my tracking a real chore too). She growled, then huffed, grunted...clicked her teeth (spooky)...and if looks could kill, I swear I'd be dead. When I stood up, and pulled my knife (just in case) she slowly turned and trotted off. I was wondering for a minute just how determined she was going to be! She's a beaut..all black russian...huge tusks, and just gnarly as all heck...I thought she was a boar at first until she turned sideways, and I saw a row of teats hangin' down off her..easily over 250/300 lbs, twice as tall as my 80/100 pounder and twice as long, and MUCH thicker/muscular...now all I can think about is getting that sow, and trying to come up with a way to get her big arse out of there without giving myself a coronary, or hernia...I am badly hooked on hawg hunting @ Granger I'm afraid ...

Johnny called today to tell me he finally got the tractor back from the shop with the new clutch installed.
After he got dieseled up he was going to try out the plow for the food plots.
He sounded extremely happy.
The menu for the fall food plots will be a mix of wheat, oat and turnips. Maybe.
Everybody pray the tractor fix sticks.
