So around 4pm I decided to hunt the same area as this morning. This time I know where I’m going, how to approach and have the wind in my favor.
Took Craig with me as he was going bow hunting for deer. I said it’s windy and 82 degrees. I’m pretty sure we can get on some hogs. I set him in my first spot from this morning. I walked maybe 50 yards away and looked up and seen what liooked like a black rhino turn and run away from me. It was a giant boar hog. I walked another .35 and was closing in on the other spot I found w a little bit of water. I crept up when the wind gust blew and stopped when it wasn’t. Finally got to within 60 yards and had a hog at the waterhole rooting in the mud next to the water. As soon as I got almost into position it moved to my right, not being able to see it for some time. I eased up and waited. As in the morning hunt the hog came back finally giving me a shot….full frontal between the eyes and collapsed. I stood there, texted Craig that we will be dragging. Two minutes later another hog appears from the same spot the other one did next to the wet area. I tried to line up a shot but couldn’t make a good shot. This hog walks past the dead one and walks away from me. Finally turning to circle around giving me a quartering away shot and the bullet found it’s mark behind the ear. Pancake city.
Craig text me saying a hog busted him, coming from behind him and downwind. At sunset he shoots and he texted me “coyote”. I tell him I’m gonna start dragging. Well both hogs weigh about 100# and I have a cinch strap. Around one neck and tie a bowlin knot and loop around the other head and let’s just say I’m not dragging hogs out anymore. Texted Craig for help while I tried to catch my breath and gut them both. We managed to get them to my atv. Hunter helped me clean them and he said he had a doe right before shooting time but didn’t work out.

Went to a new spot to me. My damn atv acting up so it’s walk in only. Gonna sit and slip and make a hunt out of it. Same style of brake I’m on. May cut a few squirrels as I go along and give them to some friends at the camp. I really don’t care to eat them.
Woke up like someone beat me up
. Craig said he’s been cramping up all night and didn’t go. Hunter and couple friends molesting the wma.

Got blown out hog hunting from squirrel hunters so I joined in. Managed to kill 5. I’m back in the hog hole hoping one will show. Skeeters are hungry but I’m using my thermacell to keep them at bay.

Looks like you got some nice bucks and that has to be the biggest heifer of a doe I've ever seen! Good luck!
