Title: Hog down.....
Post by: SAM E. STEPHENS on July 13, 2015, 02:56:00 AM

Have had a dry spell since turkey season , all my hog hunting spots either have no hogs or have sold this year. A good friend said I could go try his place and it paid off. Super thick and green all over Texas this year makes for some tough hunting..

Then a big coon came in and wanted to make off with my squirrel and arrow but I changed his mind....

Ended up with what I thought to be a nice hog but she had what looked to be an infected gunshot wound on her back leg..

My son made me the leather Maltese-cross that is on my quiver earlier today and I do believe it brought me some luck..
