At Pond #2 I saw several small groups of hogs after Rick left. These
are three that were "passing through".
It worked here too. The hogs were really moving around after yesterdays rain and I saw over 40 different hogs in the next hour. Several of them were rooting in the wallow 35 yards away when a big gray boar came up to them and tried to muscle in. Even though it was a smaller boar, an all black hog grunted and charged the larger gray hog snapping at it's mid section. The gray boar ran! It surprised me, my first thought was that he would tear the black boar to ribbons. But I didn't have time to ponder the why's and why not's. That gray boar stopped abruptly, 12 yards from my tree. At first the angle was bad, he was facing me, but the gray hog turned and looked back at the hogs by the wallow. He was broadside quartering slightly away, just like I like it. Very slowly so I didn't alert any of the hogs I came to full draw, aimed for the double lunger and touched my release's trigger. Whop, it was loud and in the ribs behind the shoulder, dead in the lung area. The boar ran off and I lost sight of it in the brush. I waited 20 minutes and got down and zig zagged in the direction he had ran. I picked up a road map blood trail and it took me to the gray boar. He had dropped dead on the run -- in the trail he was running in.  | Day

Ricky
had seen a bunch of wild hogs in the swamp so I moved my Loc-On treestand
there. To try to fool any hogs that might be nearby in the swamp Rick came
with me. I got situated and when I was ready to hunt he walked off. (It's
a trick that works well when you are deer hunting.)
