This all started about a week ago. A good buddy of mine loves to hunt waterfowl. He kept telling me about all the hogs he was seeing across the beaver pond. Now we have killed hogs in areas that are easy to access but they are few and far between and almost always at last light.

We decided to follow a pig trial through the swamp and found a easy access point across to what we call the peninsula.

Trail cams went out and a couple days later we had a pattern. About 0830 we headed across the swamp and walk right into pigs bedded on the edge. Couple of good shots and we had pigs down.

The decision was made to quickly scout and see what we were dealing with. There was an instance path of destruction that lead us into several more pig bedding areas.

Out we went and made plans to come back the next evening. Again we ran into pigs and put a few more on the ground. After a long night of hauling pork across the swamp we gave it a rest for the day.

Nice thing about a 2 blade? Only 2 blades to sharpen and a file or Accusharp tool will do the job. Nice thing about 3 blades? easy to sharpen. Just lay the head flat on what ever file or stone you are using. Nice thing about 4 blades? Most of them are replaceable blades and come sharp from the factory. All you gotta do is swap 'em out for new ones.

Nice meeting you today Chris.

Thursday we all make plans to come in late for work. Again we cross the swamp at 0830 and make our way deeper into the bedding areas. Keeping the wind in our face we spread out and start a slow deliberate stock. After about fifteen minutes I hear a pig squeal from taking an arrow from my buddy on the left. Almost at the same time the black pig appears out of thin air and before I know it an arrow appears in his goodies. He makes a death run in a circle and almost dies right were I shot her. At this point pigs are moving all through the brush and squeals from pigs being shot are coming from my left and right. Then red steps out from the thicket and instantly takes an arrow. I can not even guess how long this lasted but it was one of the most exciting hunts I have ever had.

It takes us until noon to get them out and we pile them on the back of my Jeep since it was easier for me to call in.

We decided to head back in that evening again. We crossed the swamp at 1730 and push even further into the bedding areas and once again repeated the same thing as the morning. The brown rooter came running by me and then stopped about 5 yards away to check me out. This does not happen very often so I made the best of the situation when she turned quartering away getting ready to bolt. The arrow took her perfectly and she only made it about 15 yards before going down.

We decided to give the area a rest for the weekend in hopes that we can get another couple of hunts out of it before we push the sounders to another section of the swamp.

When it was all said and done I ended up taking 6 rooters over 4 days.

Well since I am not much of a writer decided to finish this one off tonight. Much short than I thought it would be.
