Disappointing end to a stalk

[Speckmisser]

You crawl, on your belly over rocks, spiny weeds, sharp stubble... 100 yards to go... 50 yards to go... finally, you rise up, your killer instinct on high alert, your eyes focused, your trigger finger twitching... and then.

Hey, at least it wasn't a bush or rock pig. Or a slow elk...

Phil , at least for me the excitement of the hunt / stalk is why I hunt ! The kill just means work ahead and some meat in the freezer . Good on ya for getting a few pics and not taking a bunch of grill babies home . Karma ! , there a eating hog in your future . I salute you !

I've stalked them all. The rock pig was the easiest.

strong work speck!! although that one in the back looks like it may have been a
tasty little fella,that is if you were packin the bb gun instead of the .325

It was still fun though wasn't it? Great pics.

Your post embodies not the legality but the ethics in hog hunting. My hat is off to you and everybody else that feels the same as you and I. If we ever meet I'll buy you a beer.

Hell Speck, sounds like you had a perfect hunt ta me! Thats all the fun, the fun stops when the animal drops!

Being a hunter is way better than being a killer. Well done !!

 

[chirohunter]
