My wife called an audible at the last minute so we're headed to Junction for a few days. Gonna see what the rains did if the road isn't washed out to our place. Freezer is getting low. There will be blood.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

377 South to Rocksprings had a "closed to thru traffic" sign. None of the creek crossings were to the road and the low water crossings were normal. Gonna catch a few hour nap and see what's shaking.

It was muddy driving down to the stand this morning which is rare. Keep the mule in 4wd because of the loose rocks but I was slinging mud everywhere.
Debating on shooting a hog right now. I hate popping pigs on the first sit not knowing what might come.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Something appears to bed wrong with that hog. It could be the leak from the hole in the side of his head!!!

Tried some spot and stalk today without any luck. Hunting a pasture surrounded by a dry creek the axis like to use. Right now I've got a bachelor group of WT.

Just heard a series of axis barks/bugles. I thought the rut was over but maybe not.

Still having a dry spell. Let my 4 year old pick my spot tonight so I'm hunting my least favorite stand. It is where I shot my big velvet axis last November though....

Should be a beautiful weekend for you guys to be out there. Keep having fun.

Welp, no axis taken this trip. Took 3 good size boars out of the equation though.
