    FLORIDA HOG HUNT 2026

    Me either. Sucker's are really camouflaged and they usually don't fly off from what I'm reading. So it would make sense that Ive never seen one. Wiki says theyre fairly common. I bet you've heard one though. They sound like a whiporwill except the middle note isn't warbly. They're named from...

    I'd just be happy if you quit sitting on them. 🫣 🤣

    FLORIDA HOG HUNT 2026

    Its not the kind of place to screw around that's for sure. If you leave the road you better have onX, a backup compas, a light and a plan to be back on a forrest service road before dark. Navigating out of a cypress swamp in the dark is misery, even with a light. Without Onx or a compas you...

    When the wind stops a man can hear his own heartbeat. Old Florida. Wild Florida.

    FLORIDA HOG HUNT 2026

    A cool sighting yesterday. John and I were driving out and saw eyes glow ahead, like a racoon or opossum. But then it flew up and down so we thought woodcock. As we got closer it didn't have a woodcock beak. Turns out it's a night bird called a Chuck Wills Widdow. A ground dwelling bird that...

    Oh im sure from our limited understanding it's new and fascinating. We've mapped more of the surface of other planets than we have our own oceans. The ocean is a vastly unexplored and unknown place, the critters inside it even more so. Tracking sharks is relatively new, it seems like every few...

    They've always been here. We're just now getting technology to a point whwre we can track them efficiently and in more numbers. It makes for great headlines but I'd be shocked if any marine biologists were surprised. The ocean doesn't have fences.

    FLORIDA HOG HUNT 2026

    Mid 30s this morning getting up to 60s. Our best hunting has been evenings by far. Full moon doesn't help, I suspect they're feeding at night staying warm and then hunkering down in the morning. We're not the kind to sit at camp though.

    Back in the shit this morning. John and I are making a trek. Guess the route.

    FLORIDA HOG HUNT 2026

    Yeah. Fundimentals. Nothing bad could have happened except a little bruised ego, I'm always super aware of muzzle direction so it was 180 degrees away from John. I wouldn't even blame it on complacency. Just a slight of hand parlor trick that it managed to slide all the way forward in the...

    Man that's horrible. Sad.

    FLORIDA HOG HUNT 2026

    Military. Keep the weapon pointed down range, visually inspect the open bolt, close the bolt, keep weapon down range and drop the hammer. Weapon is 100% safe. Granted it shouldn't go boom. But if it does that's why it's done that way. Finding out right then while it's still pointed in a safe...

    I had my first negligent discharge last night. Started gutless method cleaning that pig in the woods before sundown. . Her piglets were still running around so I laid my rifle over out of the way but still loaded. It got dark and I finished up. Picked up my rifle to unload it, I cradled it...

    Savage 110 pre accu trigger in 30-06. With Winchester 180gr PSP. Sidearm Kimber 1911 in .45 ACP. The 06 makes a hole big enough you could serve dip in it 🤣

    Managed another sow tonight. It's cold. 36 and getting down to 26 tonight. 15mph sustained. High of 57 tomorrow with 5-10 mph winds so that should be nice.

    We thought pregnant for sure but she wasn't. Her intestines were slap full, solid black, they must be gorging on these palm berries.

    We're looking cold 🤣 Tents are abandoned. Jon and I are in our trucks, Dan went to town for a room. 32* with 25mph sustained, gusts to 48 at the campground. Despite that I scored today. Shot one in the guts and while tracking it I shot this one in the neck. I tracked the gutshot one into a...
