2 weeks ago the state of SC in their infinite wisdom changed an umpteen year old law that said if a season starts or ends on a Sunday it is legal to hunt the preceding Saturday or the following Monday.Turkey season always starts on March 15 in the Lowcountry and I was planning on doing that until they changed the law. So.............. I had to find something else to do.

I started out by being a good husband and daddy. I went shopping with everyone. At about 2 PM I headed for the club. I got there at 3.
By 3:30 I was in the pigs. I blew the first 2 tries and then, as I was walking down a road in a cutover I heard a plop in the water.

I knew that it had to be pigs. In about 2 minutes these 2 football sized piglets materialized out of the thick stuff. I heard a deep grunt farther back in the swamp. Then the palmettos started wiggling. It was so thick I couldn't see anything and it was less than 15 yards away!!

Finally this pig shows herself. At less than 10 yards even I can make a good shot. She only went about 30 yards.

The double was completed this AM at 8:16. 21 lbs 11" 1 1/8". As the cause of death was lead poisoning there will be no pictures posted here.   :bigsmyl:

Michael, the hog you killed here woulda had that hog for a snack!!! You ever eat any of that bar hog meat yet? Congrats on the turkey- I did the same thing. I've lost several with an arrow and my confidence level on those damn birds isn't very high.

I did hunt turkeys with a bow before I had the pleasure of meeting you there Mr. Biggie Huffman. I lost several in Mt.- you know where you walk up and shoot 'em! Never met a dumber turkey than Eastern Mt.! Course where we hunted, I don't think anyone ever shot at one before! Ever!

As far as that thread about DB blinds- you looked like a monkey and a football for sure! They sure are nice and big though. Two chairs and a table is nice!!! If we only had room service.
