Anyone going sunday

[Wudstix]

Plan to be up there next weekend.

anyone ever bait areas

[Wudstix]

Generally, just going after the hogs is the better method. They hit baits at dark, dark, dark. These ain't your normal Texas feral pigs, they all have advanced degrees in hunter aviodance.

What I figured. Heading out tomorrow morning hopefully finally get my first bow kill.

You can bait a site if you have frequent access to it. I live 2 1/2 hours South and it is tough to get up as often as I would like.

I don't care who ruins it; JUST TELL US THE **** STORY ALREADY!!!

Remember to, "shoot 'em in the lips" Lead, lead, lead and wing shooting for hogs.

Nice. Saw paintman this morning at primitive launch. He was off to the spot with a bunch of people. WMA was packed today. Put in 4 miles with my friend and we didn't see a single hog. Tons of bucks though, at least 5.

I was with Paintman this morning. I saw you and another hunter right before we left to hunt, but didn't get a chance to say hello. Saw Joey as well. Nice meeting you Joey and the other hunters in our group. I had a great time and lots of excitement.

Paintman and Bigbowman91, thanks for letting me tag along.

Ok guys, once again I am blessed by the following;
1 My feet hitting the ground
2 Having someone to go hunting with like Carnage
3 Going hunting and run into and hunt with the like of Justin Nathan and Tx Firefighter (good bunch of fellas)
4 Getting a chance at a nice hog

Well it all started out this morning (sorry for the delay in posting just getting home at 11:30 had to take the wife out) Carnage and I started out going in a new direction for me as I said before I am a newbee to a lot of this area so we went out from the steps crossed over and started hunting, walked for about a half hr and saw nothing until Tx Firefighter came up behind me and said Sir (**** near sacred me) I was focus forward you understand, so we stopped and chatted and decide that 3 are better than 2 so we continued as Tx Firefighter said that we had a couple of hunters up in front of us and we may want to see what the game plan is so we pushed forward and met up with Nathan and Justin and that was when 5 was better then 3 so we spread out and started pushing the area between the river and the open field all the way back to the Spot, no sooner did we start and I saw Nathan at alert like a pointer, then I heard some grunting and I new it was for real so I ready myself, when it was all said and done I think Justin tried to get a shot and Tx Firefighter did get a shot at a pig through some thicket and this is where the arrow was deflected as we all have had happen. We trek on and came to a point where we regrouped and other that the turkey buzzard with no tail feather that Nathan and I saw hopping along the ground that was it, so we (5 full grown men) standing there in the middle of the woods and low and behold one little piglet comes running around us and no one got a shot (was like this little piglet said haha can't get me) so after the little 10 # made us look follish we trek forward towards the creek, once we got to the creek Carnage saw Paintmans boat on the other side of the creek and then we saw the fellas on the other side of the creek and Tx Firefighter suggest we see where and what they were going to do from here so I went around and walked down to the boat as they looked like they were headed that was. I got down to the boat and no one came down so I turned around and I saw a nice pig running towards Carnage so I tried to way him down as it looked like the hog was going to slide right below him and when he saw me waving he had already seen the hog however it stopped short of him and turned around and started back my direction, so I readied myself and this pig is coming right at me, it rounds the tree and stops short of me by maybe 8 yrd and all I had was a frontal shot, I let it go and she went running. After it all happened I thought I hit the hog in the left front shoulder. all the guys regrouped and we started tracking and it wasn't long before Tx Firefighter was on good blood, we followed it and started getting more blood and that was when Tx Firefighter said look at that tree, we are going to find this hog and sure enough after the tree with the blood we found the hog about 10 yds away (total the hog went about 60 to 70 yrs). We were going to just take the hams and straps however Carnage and I hog tied it to a branch and carried it back, quartered it at the creek and dropped it off at Westphalia in Hutto to make whole hog sausage. Guys you need to try them as they are reasonable and do good work.
$1.25 lb for rope sausage packed.
To recap this day and I will always remember the good friends I have, the new ones I meet and the chance to meet more in the future as I have met a few of ya all ready and it is always MY pleasure. Tx Firefighter/Nathan/Justin and I can't forget Carnage. Thanks for a great day.
