Never seen this guy before. I saw him up close and personal tonight though. A group came in to the feeder and he was with them, but wouldn't go into the lights under the feeder. He worked his way around the edge of the tank towards my blind.





I could hear him walking the whole way, I just couldn't see him. Then I hear CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH. I have a little, (okay...big), bone pile collection by my feeder from hogs I have shot in the past. It never really stays a neat pile because yotes and buzzards are always picking things out of it.


So anyway, I can't see this guy from my seat, but I can hear him crunching on something. So I adjust myself up as high as I can in the chair and I can just make out the top half of him with my night vision mono. He is all of 20 yads from me and he is facing directly towards me and HE IS CRUNCHING ON A DRY BONE! It was hanging out of the side of his mouth and he was digging it! I kid you not! This boar was eating a bone! And it wasn't even a fresh one, but an old dry one!





I start to reach for my gun and I make a noise and he freezes, then snorts and takes off. Talk about pigs giving you the heebeejeebees! I was being REAL loud on my way out of the woods tonight. :shock:
