Went pig hunting today at a buddy's place close to the house. It was my first hunt with the St.Judes bow "Hope". That is one slick bow and shoots real well. I had the pigs come in right at dark and by the time they got close enough to shoot at, it was too dark to pick a spot. We will have to try again in a few days.

Skunked this pm but saw deer in the afternoon. Mr. Cinco dodged a shot by my buddy.

I'll be in a tree tonight and in the morning. Wasn't expecting to go back out til this weekend, but I'm ready. Hope they're moving....I did rattle in 2 bucks last weekend. The shooter didnt come in close enough and the 8 was too small.

Last week they seemed to be really chasing them. I almost stepped on a spike accompanied by a doe on Tuesday while looking for hogs in a bottom. He grunted at me as I stopped on the other side of a huge clump of head tall reeds, thinking I was walking into a hog's nest i readiedfor action. All of a sudden this head pokes around the corner and it's a big bodied spike...he trotted off. Probably ends up a cull if I see him again.

Thanksgiving evening hunt was again a bust...no deer. Pics show a few deer hitting our feeders between midnight to 3am. I'm hanging my hopes on this wet cold front coming through tonight.

My 2 day huint was great, even tho I didn't see any deer or hogs

highpoint forge · November 27, 2011, 07:07:00 PM

Button buck hit by car on road to the house and two does in the yard Fri night was all I saw...

Lampasas Co. Friday through Sunday was pretty much a bust; early Saturday morning, one of my nephews shot a 7-point with a rifle; a few does and a 4-point were seen in the afternoon, but the rest of the weekend was practically dead. Wind was constantly blowing at 15-20 Mph and they were all bedded down.

Had a turkey at 12 yards on Saturday but he caught me drawing my bow, managed to get away. This was after he'd gotten within 10 yards of me the previous day, almost walking into the area I had brushed in, but I didn't know he was there and accidentally spooked him when moving around glassing the area. Frustrating for sure.

Just got back from Mon PM hunt through yesterday PM and didn't see much on the cameras.

flippnsticks · November 30, 2011, 03:50:00 PM

highpoint forge · November 30, 2011, 07:42:00 PM

Flip am thinking about tomorrow and Fri AM out east off 155.

flippnsticks · November 30, 2011, 08:09:00 PM

I am not sure what to do. Heck my hogs have even been slow. hope this colder weather will push them into feeding more, and rutt harder, somthing.

highpoint forge · November 30, 2011, 09:36:00 PM

Agreed. Saw no hogs all week!

flippnsticks · November 30, 2011, 09:47:00 PM

Well I have been at the lease in Tilden since Sat. Just got home today. I arrowed a nice buck on Sunday morning with "Hope", the St Judes passaround bow. Here is a pic:

There is a story and more pics in this thread on the powwow (start at the top of the page and read on down):
