well dudes,got back from my man trip this morning,it went abit longer than my wife would have liked it ,due to me having kid duty today:skeered:
Heres how it went down,hit a property at 5:00 am on wednesday,busted
arse all day,and i mean all day,pushing canyons,tossing rocks,clapping
hands,hell,even yelling down draws at one point:far-side-guy-yellina brother has got to
make it happen sometimes,being in stealth mode all the time is impractical
especially when busting canyons in mid day,ive walked by many a hog
in my career only to have um bust out behind me,same for bucks.
anyways you'll see where im going with that ramble in a bit..
after a long day of repetition, i power nap it under a tree,i bed down at 1:30,awake at 3:30, what a nap!! wish i could do that at home
i need to work my way back to my quad by dark,as i forgot my flashlight!!
im at least a couple hours out if i hoof it!!i get half way out of hells canyon and stop for a breather, im kicking it for about 5 minutes
when i notice a "rock' out of place down the draw i just walked up!!
i cant quite make it out,although it has the suspicious look!! ive got an hour of light left and the only way to make sure the"rock" is a"rock"
is to back track down the canyon and get different angle, i start to think,man,is this worth it.... HELL YES ITS WORTH IT,IM HEADED BACK DOWN!! now with shootin light fading fast and knowing im gonna have to hike out in the dark with no light im hoping my decision was the right one
and that my"SPOT"service is paid in full if you know what i mean...
i get to an angle to where i can see the "rock" 200 yds cross canyon,
as i throw up the binos, the rock gets up"PIG" down comes the bi-pod on
the old pork pounder and i try to settle in ,which is impossible on a hill side
trying to stick the bi-pod in the dirt!!well she had enough of my silly arse up there and stared to kick it in gear~~as im fiddle farting around,
i come to the realizeation that i better do something or im gonna be hosed with no shot opp.after all that hiking and manuvering,i quickly improvize
and thru "the cow" over a brush pile,put the crosshairs behind the shoulders of ms.swine and bark one off,at the report of the rifle i hear a"crack" pig does not break stried and heads into the brush, im pissed
thinkin w.t.f.? its now dark,and i mean dark dark!! i tell my self,mark the spot ,head out and call momma,i'll be searching in the morning...
after getting back to the rigg,im thinking to myself the whole time,i know i whacked that hog,but if i did miss, i would be happy to serve my self a piece of humble pie!! i head back this morning and of course the f&^%$
rain is hammering at first light!! this out to be real interesting trying to get my bearings on this pig with no tracks to follow.. i get over to where
i lost sight of it and not 10 yds from where i entered "the danger zone"
im confronted by miss piggy who stands up out of her bed,standing on 3
legs due to the fact that i broke the other one with my shot,she takes off down the canyon,i chamber a round and the only shot i have is"up the old dirt road" if you know what i mean:skeered: i take it ,and the lady absorbs it
and keeps going,i give her one more and send her ass over tea kettle to where you see her in the pics,at the very bottom of "hells canyon",
this was one tuff "byatch" i tell ya!! so after taking the money shots out came the knife for the selected cuts of meat that were not to hammered,
and there was alot hammered:skeered:so with out futher adue, i give you my
hard earned trophy... moral to my story,always check your backtrail
to see if you could have walked by something ,hogs will and due hold tight
like a cock pheasant!!!:toast-yellow:
