My son and I hit the ranch this Friday around 6pm. To late to go out and bow hunt so we waited til 9:30 to hog hunt. Walked out to the double blind on a hill about 300 yards from camp and the brown boar was standing under the feeder. DRT! My boy jokes and says (so much for spending quality hunting time in the blind). He got to spend quality cleaning time back at the gut station. He went to bed at 11pm and I went out to hunt this spotted pig. I came in at 2am and crashed. Got up at 4:30am to go bow hunt. Center punched 3 raccoons giving me the stink eye. Jace had baseball games on Sat. so I didn't get back to the ranch til 8pm. To late to bow hunt. I wait til 10pm to go out. I needed the moon to get to my setup and turn on the hog light and be able to seen that I wasn't busting pigs. In the blind at 11pm and 1 1/2 hours later here comes the pigs. I counted 15 in all. It took anouther 20 minutes of following the spotted pig with the scope just to get the shot. DRT! Only problem....she expired in the nasty pudding mud of the wallow under the feeder! Not only did she die under the feeder, but the piggy twitch dance vaccuumed that sucker to the bottom! This stuff stink like S****!! I had one white ear to work with. I washed that pig for 2 hours just to get it clean enough to gut! Crashed at 4am and did not get up to bow hunt! Sunday was spent skinning and cutting down all the meat of both pigs (one needed to be taken to the car wash and power washed, you should have seen the looks!) . Oh, when I get home I find one of the freezers has gone out. I just replaced a garage fridge last Monday! I gave away all the meat today as the other 2 freezers are full of the broken freezers meat! I did keep the spotted pigs hide to be tanned! Going back to the ranch tomorrow evening to hunt the cold front.
