Title: Todays Boat Hunt.....with MEAT and iceing
Post by: RC on May 08, 2009, 09:33:00 PM
I Headed to the River Today. I had the Trusty Apex Longbow loaded up as well as the Zebco and some bait. I checked the food plot I was on earlier this week and no pigs but there were 5 deer in it. I managed to get around thirty yards and take a pic. Where are these dumb deer in Oct.

The deer is a little left of the white snag in the middle. Kinda hard to see...Anyway I made a loop in the swamp and did`nt cut any really fresh sign so I took the boat up river to a Honey hole and fished for a couple of hours.

   After my back started to hurt from sitting in the boat I grabbed the Apex Longbow and headed in the swamp.  I checked a really low area and quickly cut fresh sign. Check out this sand wash from a few weeks ago when the River was flooded. Water was around 8 feet deep here.

As I said I was in fresh sign and after a little ways I heard the leaves rustling. I checked the wind and headed towards the noise and spotted about 15 or so pigs. A few sows and three boars o.One really big one and a bunch of shoats. I was easing toward them on the edge of a slew when I saw a sow on the other side rooting I got a couple of steps closer and waited till she got sideways and I sent a Snuffer on the way. Around a twenty yard shot to the other side of the slew.

 The shot looked good so I eased on down the slew to find a place to cross and came back up on the other side looking for blood.. No problem..Snuffers Rule..

Good stuff! Great blood trail! I think I'd gladly trade a few hogs for some fresh crappie and channel cat fillets. Dang, I'll get the grease hot if you'll stop by to visit. Keep up the good shootin! CK

Congrats RC. Had a little wild pork myself last night. Good coating of prepared mustard, little garlic pepper rubbed in just right. Let it sit in the frig for 1 to 2 hours. Grilled over medium hot coals. Some kinda good. Keep the pictures and stories coming. Thanks for sharing.  :thumbsup:

Jedimaster,

RC is offering that opportunity on the St Judes auction.  I have a feeling it might get pricey though!  He has obviously got a handle on this pig hunting thing!    :notworthy:
