Surf and Turf...............

Surf and Turf............... - 11/27/17 02:47 AM

11:15am this morning my wife hears the pig alarm(motion detector) go off at the feeder.

She takes a quick look through the binoculars and confirms they are there and sends me a text.

I am fishing in the boat on the pond and return to shore, drive the mule back to the house, get the gun out of the gun case, load it, walk to my shooting station(200yrds from the feeder), aim and fire.

The new 20" 6.8SPC rifle isn't virgin anymore. One pig dropped where he stood.



I eat a quick lunch when I get back then go back to fishing.......slowly trolling a crappie jig behind the boat. I had some success and added them to my fish holding pen.

That's the way to hunt! Forget the hogs, serve up some of them Sac-a-lait!

I'll have to look for one, I struggle to stay awake at night and something like this may let me nap and not miss the action. Where'd you get yours?

Is this what you're talking about?

Is it up on the feeder pointing down, or low on the feeder pointing to the side?

Looks like a good option to make sure I'm awake when the pigs come out late.
