Arrived at my sight around 5 AM and got the blind set up. From the lack of sleep during the past couple of days, I could hardly stay awake, so I laid my head back and snoozed for the first hour of daylight.
At one point I awoke to the odor of pigs, but saw nothing. Within a couple minutes, I heard what I thought were grunts, so I looked out the blind to find a large, lone boar under the feeder.
Today I was hunting with my Thompson Center G2 Contender in 30/30 Winchester. He looked in my direction a couple of times, and I began to get a little nervous, hoping he wouldn't bolt for cover.
Placing my blind, I figured if I kept the small tree between me and the feeder, I'd have more freedom of movements, and it proved to be the right thing to do.
All I had was a small "V" of a window, with a strand of barbed wire at the top. Not much room for error, but I felt confident in my T/C.
The big boar just wouldn't come out from behind that tree, so I figured now was as good a time as any. He stepped into view, and all I could see was his head and neck.
BANG, FLOP.....the boar was mine!
