Shot a hog yesterday morning. He went 60 yards before we saw blood. Eagle eye son tracked him. It was a good shot just through the thick shoulder. Took a while for blood to exit.
I would definitely use an elevated blind. We were 15 feet up and still couldn't see through the ragweed, which is about six feet in places. One thing we found while tracking Mr pig was a lot of bedding areas in the ragweed. It was hard to tell if these were deer or pig areas but many were single beds I bet were buck beds. They were just inside the weeds with prevailing wind to their back. Hogs were everywhere but they move mostly through the weeds alot. My son almost got run over by two.
For those that were out there and know, we lost our brakes and had to limp in to yesterday morning's hunt on emergency brakes. We were able to drive to Palestine and fixed them in the O'Reilly's parking lot and made it home ok. I was supposed go back today but will be back either Wednesday or Sunday..

I'm hunting Wednesday morning then pulling out. I hear there may be some rain Friday but I don't know if that is just for the metromess or Palestine as well. Good luck. What I don't shoot I'll scare your way.

Didn't see anything while in the blind, but did see 2 does on the way to the stand Saturday afternoon and two does on the way out Sunday morning. Twas hot hot hot, and I had a 7yr old sneezing-coughing-fidgeting fart machine with me in the ground blind, so perhaps wasnt the best recipe for success haha
