phew! tired. i just got home. too amp'd to sleep just yet. i met a new friend up there. he informed me that i hunted the lake very inefficiently. he helped me work up a new game plan. tonight was the second time i put the new plan to work. i set up on a great spot, and hung out. i stayed super quiet, and didnt move. at 6:20...what? was that movement?!! i saw a pig heading for me! it's ears were waving as it trotted towards me. i froze. it's head went behind a stump and i NOCKED UP! for the first time at lake sonoma, i had to grab an arrow! then i see a second pig. this one was white-ish, and angling towards me. they hung up, 7 feet from a clearing. the edge of the clearing was a easy 30 yard shot. i felt my heart pumping HARD. they got nervous and angled away and to the left. quickly i texted my friend to move left.. he is like a ghost and headed them off quick. PHOOSH! the pigs pulled the classic ninja move, and simply disappeared. i moved forward 15 yards and found a great future ambush point. i can see the clearing, into the woods where the pigs hung up, and the end of the draw, should they get past me. i saw a deer moving thru the draw, and saw where he popped up. i ranged him at 25 yards. that deer taught me ALOT!
i want to thank my buddy. lessoned learned. for the record, he is the second guy i have met and befriended from this forum. both of those great guys are on my brother and mine, group NM elk tag. if we draw, we will all be psyched!
