Took my wife on her first hog hunting trip - 02/13/15 12:37 AM
I posted a few weeks ago about taking my wife on her first hog hunt
Well, we went on a "day hunt" to make sure she would like it, as well as check the place out
The property is about 600 acres, with 150 acres detached, total of 750 acres, it was very nice and well kept
We spent a large part of the day being shown around the place
Oh, they also had a golf cart for us to use since she is semi disabled, BIG plus for them
Around 5:45 that evening, we went to a blind we picked for our night hunt
We had not been in the blind 20 minutes when two does and a fawn came in, not 10 yards behind the feeder we were hunting
That was great, but just about full dark, we had four cows invade the feeder we were hunting
Someone did not have a pen setup around the feeder, oh well
They ate every kernel that had been laid out, I hate cows, unless they are on my grill
Needless to say, we had nothing come around after that
BUT, she had a GREAT time and loved the hunt, even after sitting in the blind until 11:00 and nothing to shoot at
We signed on the lease and picked a site to setup our feeder, blind etc
I am very happy she had fun because now I have a permanent hunting partner
We are both looking forward to going back and getting our site setup and ready
This old fart is a happy man
Yes, the face you see in the window is my wife being nuts, but she has to be nuts to be married to me for almost 29 years lol
