The area I hunt has been closed due to training for a month and I've been dying to get out there. It finally opened up today and 5 min after the feeder went off momma came in with 8 piglets, I shot momma and the piglets ran off but came back about 5 min later and I shot one of them. I got out of the stand and drug them away from the feeder and about 20 min later another small group came in and I blasted another one. I've got tons of hogs at this feeder all thruout the day and I'm about to give them a real good education on why they should avoid my feeder. By the way I am shooting my grandpa's 870 Wingmaster with a rifled barrel and that 12 gauge Hornady SST does a number on a hog Momma and piglet All 3 Still got work to do

A real hunter never returns empty handed. Spending time in the wilderness temporarily satifies the soul, but leaves us longing for more.

I'm in the blind now and it's hotter than hell but just seen a small group of hogs behind the feeder in the cedar. Feeder goes off in 2 min and I'm feeling lucky

I hope you have a shaded blind, ours are like hunting in an attic. So I am hunting from the back porch. Good luck.

Good job Sap! Glad to see you're getting out and having some fun. Did you hurt anything loading that dang thing by yourself? nah it wasn't too bad. I got a good method to do it. Just put a rope around its neck get on the tailgate reach down low as I can and basically deadlift the hog into the truck bed. Getting the head and shoulders onto the tailgate is the hard part the rest is easy. I think I could prob get a 300-350 lb hog in the bed myself I would think.
