Came home empty handed
« on: April 29, 2025, 08:41:09 PM »
Got to get out and chase hogs a few times last week. Saw quite a few , put the ( failed ) stalk on a couple , passed up shots at several and shot under a pig.that ran by. Great time , beautiful time to be out rambling.

You came home with a hand full of memories, I don't call that empty handed.

Agree 100%. Heck how many can say that they had a hog get so close that they could have touched it with their foot before it spooked?

I understand that , I’m retired and have a hard time finding time to get out. It always makes me feel better about life to spend some time in the woods though.

As mentioned above, all those experiences and EXPOSURE to the Natural world fare exceed the benefits of some meat....enjoy those gifts my friend !  :campfire:
