Jaxton has been hunting with me for quite a while now and has killed many hogs and a handful of deer as well on private land. I hunt a lot on Ft Hood bc it’s close to home and they have lots of hogs and deer. Jaxton couldn’t hunt on Ft Hood yet but has sat with me and hunted with me many times. This year he turned 9 and took hunters education and can now hunt on Ft Hood. We went out yesterday with the savage 220 planning to do some night hunting when we spotted a hog and made a stalk on it. He made a great shot and hog only ran about 20 yards. He has been waiting very impatiently for this day and he couldn’t be happier to get his first Ft Hood hog. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/05/full-23999-296627-3fb025b5_0b75_4bf7_9bee_bbdba0084193.jpeg)

Love those spotted hogs, almost as much as Jaxton's smile.

Great job. I love seeing kids successful in the field.

Congratulations. How is his baseball coming along?  Going well. Jaxton pitched us to the championship 2 weeks ago and we have finished 2nd, 1st and 2nd in our last 3 tournaments before this weekend. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/05/full-23999-296652-d88490e9_587e_4798_bc12_3e288dc67fe0.jpeg)

Great Job Jaxton! Love me some spotted pigs and the really long nosed ones too. Great Job Dad for making the smiles possible. Enjoy this time....it passes really fast.

I'm showing my age but there were no hogs on Ft Hood when I was there 75-78. Congratulations that's a great picture.

Great Job, Jaxton! I'm showing my age but there were no hogs on Ft Hood when I was there 75-78. Congratulations that's a great picture. Don't feel too bad; pigs were just rumors and hearsay in the late 90s and early 00s.
