Well my first hog hunt was fun for me. I was at Fish Eating Creek on a special hog hunt and the first morning I setup in a area they had been crossing under a fence all I saw was a cow that tried to figure out what I was sitting at the base of the tree on the way back to the truck I decided to check another spot out closer to the truck so I circled this area that was about 1/8 mile across when I was about to come up to the trail I was on that morning I herd the grunts of pigs so I froze in my tracks and a few seconds later here came 15 pigs no bigger than 25 lbs they stopped and looked at me then went on there way then came out momma and that is what I was waiting for but she booked it across the trail not giving me a shot I ran to the crossing she was headed for but she made it there before I did and she was safe on private property but later that afternoon I decided to go out a little early and while I was walking out there I couldn't decide where I wanted to hunt so I was stopped where the sow went under the fence then I looked on the other side of the fence there was a sow headed for the crossing about 15 feet in front of me she stopped and looked in my direction she knew something was not right but she continued my direction they she got behind some palmettos so I squatted down since the next time she would be within 15 feet of me ,she came out from behind the palmettos stopped and looked where I was but she figured it was all safe till she went under the fence 12 Ga 3" mag oo buck dropped her in her tracks she weighed in at 115 lb so needless to say the afternoon hunt started and ended within 30 min. I have been hooked on hog hunting since!
