This hunting season has been feast or famine. I started off with a bang (pun intended) while walking to my first stand of the year, I shot a 300+lb wild boar. It was one bit pig let me say. My brother-in-law and I had a time getting that thing hauled to camp and cleaned. it took 3 hours just to skin the darn thing. But he sure does eat well!
I have seen a lot of deer this season, but they are all small bucks and a hoard of does. Fortunately I have been able to get 3 doe for the freezer which is good, but the bigger bucks have eluded me. Which with a month of the season left, means I better buckle down or hope they survive for next year when I know they will be sure enough wall hangers.
And if I can keep my feeders going, I should be able to hone in on some pigs. They are really a hit and miss, but with the feeder either not working due to motor malfunctions, electronics, dead batteries, or out of corn. The pigs are not regular visitors.
Now trapping season open this week and my attention will be diverted to catching coyotes, fox, bobcats and raccoon's than to hunting. More about this later.
Stay tuned - more posts to come in the coming days and weeks.
