I had an exciting night with a lot of shot opportunities on hogs, hauling hogs out of a muddy field, some guy who interrupted my hunt by searching my truck with a flashlight and then tying flagging tape to it, and then shooting more hogs.
The thing with the dude checking out my truck was just weird. This all happened within 3 or 4 minutes of me stopping. I was parked close to a gate and right against the fence where I had parked on numerous occasions previously. I had dead hogs loaded in the back. I was 50-75 yards in the field when he pulled up to my truck after first passing it on the highway. He scanned the field very briefly with his flashlight and failed to see me. I didn't make contact with him because it would spoil my hunt...I had hogs in the field at that time. He then looked all over my truck and peered in the windows with his flashlight. He went back to his vehicle and I thought he was leaving when he returned to my truck and started messing with the driver's side door. I thought he was trying to gain entry. Then, he left. Later, I found where he had affixed flagging tape to the door handle. I know this is a practice that is done during storms, blizzards, and with wrecked vehicles that are off in a ditch and what not waiting to be towed, so that future searchers would not re-inspect empty vehicles, but the weather was good, my truck was still warm and ticking as the engine cooled, and it wasn't wrecked. Weird. Never seen this done previously. The guy didn't call and report my vehicle to the sheriff's office or to the game warden. I don't think the dude would have put a hand on my truck had he known he was under observation.
I ran out of Speer Gold bullets and had to revert back to some Federal Speer TNT ammo I had in the truck in order to finish my hunt. I will be doing my next few hunts with 90 gr. Varmageddon bullets loaded by Custom Reloads of Dallas.
I hope you will enjoy the video...
