Arrival & Ricky's Hunt | Rick's Bad Attitude Boar | Day #2: Blaine's Hunt | Robert's Hunt | Afternoon Hunt |

Stalking
After taking Blaine's picture I walked to the largest pond, where I've killed hogs before. There are plenty of places for wild hogs to lay up around the water's perimeter. The first hog I saw was laying in a mud hole. 

I took it's picture and carefully sneaked to within bow range and took a second picture, and when I did...

the hog moved it's ears slightly so I knew the jig was up. It slung mud all the way to me when it jumped up and ran.

On the opposite side of the pond a hog surprised me and jumped up at least 20 yards out in the pond. I kept going and soon took the picture below of a young hog.

I came up on a stand and thought that staying put and letting the area settle down might be a good thing. In short while I saw movement through the leaves.

Tesas-S has a few exotics and two black bucks trotted by.

Two Axis deer does were next. 

Far away, I saw movement and glassed it. Rick. So I got down and walked over to him. According to my stomach, it was lunch time. 
We drove into the nearest town and had an exceptionally good meal at a local cafe owned by Merle's brother.
When we returned to Texas-S Merle had a suggestion... TO: Afternoon Hunt.
