More Pasture Plows Down

[Double Naught Spy]

This is a tough property to hunt. It is 500 acres of which only about 100 are open or open parkland. The rest is heavy forest with virtually no vehicle trails. I have a feeder set up that sometimes let's me know when the hogs are coming out, but in the last week, they came out in force and ruined the pasture. All the corn was gone from under the feeder, so I knew I had them coming. I set up between the feeder and the field with all the damage, just inside the tree line with the idea that I could leave my spot overlooking the feeder and check the field every so often. Sure enough, the hogs appeared, but well north and down wind of me which was not good. They had come in from the west (based on hogs I saw coming out of the woods) and so I sneaked my way though the edge of the woods to try to stay out of sight and out of the breeze as much as possible.

I have said for years that anybody can kill a large hog, but shooting piglets can be tough. Sadly, I was proven right on this hunt.
