There is no story...

Those pigs see Hatchet coming, they just roll over and surrender. Hardly even call it a hunt any more.

so my daughter lost ,18 -24, 11 points scored by my girl,cant win um all i guess

i had not shot anything for quite some time so i decieded to see if i could try my luck on a california wild hog

i took off on my usual man thursday hunt as it is that time of year that i prefer to hunt the hogs,most people prefer the summer when water is scarce and barley fields are poppin,dont get me wrong,i'll drop the hammer then too,but there is something abit more challenging to me about taking um in the winter when they are on there home turf, i hit the road at 3am,get there abit early due to the full moon,for the seasoned hog dudes ,you all know that the hogs wil come out very late and go back very early,if your not seasoned ,there is a tip,and for the smart arses, i mean that in a serious way.legal shootin time in my particular area was 6:30ish, i was in place at 6am,able pic a part the hillsides with my swarovski's,tip#2,by the best glass you can ,
trust me on that one,you will see more game.this day was going to be something special as i heard the turkeys treeyelping in
the distance and the hungry coyotes howling away.as i repostioned my pack for a better back support i look to my west,
and thru the binos i pick out several swine making there way back up the white oak infested draw,damn,its 6:10 and im
1\2 mile out from um and ive got 20 minutes until i can engage

ther gonna make the brush before i get a chance to assess the heard ,at this point i hear the un mistakable sounds of a large boar pouring it to a sow,i watch thru the swaros,i can see that there is a monster in the group of 8 running the show like a true adult film star,this dude has several sows that he is having his way with and with all the love going on down the canyon,it gave me the opurtunity i was waitng for to start my approach,the wind was perfect, i just hoped i could get too them before they hit the brush line and that it would be magic hour!!!
well,i got to um alright,but i was early,grandpa taught me along time ago,good things come to those that wait!! and wait i did.
i had several pigs around me including mr.john holmes himself,i even had the crosshairs on um at about 125yds,problem was i was a good 10 minutes from shootin time,i watched as they slowly dissapeard into the chamise and manzanita,my only chance
would be for them to hold up in the brush before they went on too there bedding grounds which is no mans land,dont think a
ratt could get thru some of that brush

magic hour comes and im tipp toeing up the mountain ,all the way smelling the nasty vapor trail of mr.holmes

then i hear the roar of somebody getting it in the brush,awesome!! they are stll there and close,50 yds maybe.i hit the brush line and take a knee, only way too see thru the stuff,i throw up the binos and see nothing but legs and back lines still pretty dark but legal shootin time is upon me,and
he is fixin to get it!! lots of skeering and sreaming going on in there,somebody was not having fun,at this time things go dead silent,too silent, i think,w.t.f. did i get busted? i see no more movement,dont even hear a twigg snapp. and then it happens,
i smell him before i see him,you ever get the feeling your being watched in the woods?well i was,as i slowly turned my head to my left ,i see nothing but a GIANT head staring at me at about 15 meters

it was at this point i engaged the beast
with my crosshairs placed on his melon, as i clicked the 3 position safety of my rifle,he did not appear to like the noise
and new the deal was about to go down...in one flued motion,he starts coming and i bark one off out of the .270,all hell breaks loose and hogs are whipping buy me at mach 1, i regain my train of thought and concentrate on my target, he is nowhere to be found, i walk the 10 or so meters over the chamise pile and there he is shot thru the brain stone cold , i check him out for abit,
and start to get a smell that surrounds me that i have not smelled since my kids were babys,then i realize im screwed,i dont have another pair of underwear as the reality had set in that i shat myself

and on that note i will leave you guys..
until next week, keep it real and always carry a set of extra grundys while hunting trophy boars with attitudes{tip#3}
