TG Wolf Pack Hog Hunting With Big Jim

Big Jim has graciously welcomed our inept group to hog hunt with him February 19th thru the 21st.
Yes....Anticipation is running high and we are overwhelmingly enthusiastic!

The wolf pack comprises of a most entertaining combination of wayward traditional hunters....aimless and disoriented ingredients should provide many valued memories.

WOLF PACK GROUP:                        
Medicare Bhtr........AKA "Legend Lutz"
         
shed hunter.............AKA "Stump"
         
Anthony Rodgers....AKA 'Big Country'

Friend........................AKA "Clueless'

Legend Lutz: a hog hunting rookie, is an over–seasoned hunting veteran that may have hung in the locker a little too long. Some adequate scent control and he should be lethal.

Stump: ambition is to just smell one. Typical tree stand heights generalyl position him about eye level.
..............Big Jim has one stump stand set at 30 feet. Big Jim is always prepared and has a couple of
............. ground blinds set-up with harness and safety lines. The intent is to keep Stump out of the
..............peanut butter bait and to keep Stump from running off.

Big Country: Always, the seemingly calm composed hunter. After many years of sharing the field with Big
......................Country, a revelation beyond imagination has become most radiant.  Verification requires
......................a stealthy approach for safety reasons, yet during the height of the moment it becomes
.................... most obvious that there has been an undesirable  release due to violent intestinal fermenting activity.

Clueless: The least competent in the wolf pack...definitely not the alpha male.... Still working diligently to
.................ascertain the difference between a hog and a deer....will be restricted to ground hunting
.................and am aggressively studying and evaluating each and every Oscar Meyer commercial.


This highly anticipated adventure will be immeasurably aggrandized by sharing the experience with Big Jim.


Certainly am hopeful that he will not be undone due to an overexposure to the wolf pack confusion.

This is gonna be awesome. The hardest part is the anticipation! Still waiting on my first traditional big game kill. Deer seasons is still here but I would be happy with a hog also. Im so thankful Jim is letting us do this. This will one memorable hunt especially with clueless (aka Friend), you never what hes gonna pull.

[Crittergetter]

Well heck, my bday is the 20th! So that means y'all gotta shoot one in honor of me and Bisch!!  Good luck! Stick it to em!!

[BigJim]

I had a half a dozen at 15 yards in compete darkness Wednesday night...I'm guessing half a dozen. trail cam had show a group of about six hitting this site every night for the previous 4 nights.
I set up in a open ground blind and waited.
Oddly, this is the second time at the same bait that the hogs snuck in on me...almost caught me napping.
We had brushed the bling in and over did it. Not wanting to make a ruckus while fixing the blind, I decided to leave it and stand up before shooting.
As the pigs munched away on corn and a fresh block of Jiffy peanut butter....in taste tests, pigs prefer jiffy  3 - 1 over all other brands....nah, I'm just kidding.
Anyway, I stood and readied myself for a shot..all went well, but I think I might of had one under foot...just a few yards away. I clicked the light on and all seemed ok, but I think they might have been looking at me and caught me moving..up was the jig and the pigs were gone.

My son Tommy spent the last couple of hours shoveling peanut butter in to boxes to dispurse among the stands. I am planning another outing tomorrow Where I will be filling stockings with peanut butter treats for all the little piglets and many of the bigger piglets too!

take care, bigjim

[drewsbow]

how is a fella supposed to sit and shoot pigs with peanut butter in front of them?

[Friend]

Big Jim has committed to go all out in an effort to concoct a bait so irresistable that even I may be presented a shot opportunity.

"PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY"

***Believe the jelly will be strawberry

[Possum Head]

Jim, I hope all the little piggys indulge in their stocking stuffing as Santa looses the ultimate surprise!

[saltwatertom]

BigJim , you have a way of luring in the prey while you are asleep, I know, I've seen it work!  

Shoot strong and be fearless to get a big one!

[Stump73]

Just relised its just 2months away!

[mark Willoughby]

Sounds like a blast!!

[hoo-ray]

Congratulations guys.  I hope you all get one.  Have fun   Josh

[BigJim]

Fun it will be!
Yeah Tom, If the piggies had waited another 2 minutes before they came in, I probably would have been asleep...hey, it works for me. Apparenty I don't snore when I sleep on stand  

Yes, I am fearless...or maybe brainless, but the only thing that scares me is screwing up an opportunity.
It has been raining here since last night, so I have a truck load of wet peanut butter boxes.

I'm going out tomorrow evening to try her again. Going to try a new stand this time and see if I can get in a nap without being interrupted...too early.

[BigJim]

Well, went out early yesterday to check stands. Critters are hitting, but having camera issues again...go to be us as often as this happens.

Spotted some little bitty piggies on the long road and attempted a stalk.
Did pretty well until the sow got my wind...she was in the bushes and I walked right past her. She made the ground shake as she woofed and rumbled off. I say sow but I didn't see her. Most likely was as the boar..little fella about 150 lbs hoped out in the road in front of me at about 20 and slowly trotted away. He even stopped to give me a look back...then he gave me the hoof and was gone.

[Stump73]

BigJim,  could post some pics when you get the camera fixed? Im getting workedup. A hog hunt is my top of my bucket  list.

[drewsbow]

Mike , you don't need no stinking snake boots , but jim will let you do all your own snake stompin.       I haven't seen any when I have been there that time of year but what do I know    

[Friend]

Stump...you should be more concerned with termites.
