Yesterday, just at dark, I saw something big and black on my hay field. Big dog? Hog? So I sat in a hay field box blind this afternoon. Nothing. No deer. No coyote. No pigs. But hey, I'm here, so I'll stick around till dark-thirty. Finally gave it up. Put the binocs away. Closed the windows and picked up my possible bag and reached for the rifle. Looked out one more time and....and...that's not a hay bale. Got the binocs back out and it's a big danged black hog. Got a window open a few inches and it made one stinking squeeky noise and the hog is in motion. Trotting to the east. It's pretty darn dark, but he's still visible in the Vortex Viper. Got the crosshairs on him and let fly. Heard the "whop" noise. Raining now. Find him tomorrow.
Nothing shows up till I close the darn windows.
Not my monkeys, not my circus...

Sounds like my last hog hunt. Had them hitting the feeder regularly so I went out and sat a long while...nothing.
Hoping to make up for it next time out.
Hope you find your beastie in the am...he should be easy to find if he is down in the field

I have seen many pigs show up for that last look out the window as I am reaching for the door.

I Feed Indian Corn. The deer love it and all the colors make them stay at the feeder longer.

OK, so tell the truth... how many of you say to yourself, "OK, I'm going to leave now..." drag butt around for a few minutes, and do it several times, wanting this very thing to happpen.

I believe in science and I’m an insufferable [censored] Actually, BBC is pretty damn good "You Cannot Simultaneously Be Politically Correct And Intellectually Honest!"
