I ran up to the mountains this morning for a couple of hours not really intending to hunt since we had family coming over for Sunday Supper at 5PM. I really just wanted to stretch my legs to relieve the cabin fever I have been suffering from as a result of all the rain lately. Decided to take my rifle anyhow just to guarantee that I wouldn’t see anything.
Got a late start and did not arrive to the locked gate until 10:30AM and began the long walk up the mountain. An hour later I walked up on this beast just as he was entering a food plot with the sun directly overhead. I sat down in the middle of the road bed, took aim with my 300 Win Mag and the rest is history. After dragging him off the field I got busy with my knife, and it was by far the toughest hide I have ever seen on a critter. Made the long walk out, and pulled into my driveway at 3PM. Quickest hog hunt I have ever had. Still a couple of weeks left of small game season, and there are a ton of pigs up there. Getcha some of that bacon!
