My little brother and I worked our butts off for this pig this weekend. We ran an ambitious duck/hog hunt across 3 WMAs in 2 days and finally got on a group of pigs in the last 30 minutes before we had to make it back to Atlanta yesterday. The timing was absolutely perfect. We used my little 14 foot jon boat with a 15 hp and trolling motor up front to come off of the river and navigate through the flooded creeks and low lying WMA land. I had always wanted to try that and it worked out great. It was definitely a stress inducing experience trying to keep the boat turned into the current while bumping into submerged stumps and logs but once we got the hang of it we could move up the creek pretty stealthily.
Yesterday was the windiest conditions I may have ever hunted in, but this pig didn't care. He found a group of 4 pigs only 10 minutes after hopping onto dry land to try a spot I had hunted before from the land side. It fell 10 feet from the water so there was no dragging required. That is very different than the 2 mile hike it takes to get there from the road. That pig totally turned the weekend around as we had met more than our share of obstacles up to that point. I found a nice 4 point shed at dark the night before in a public dove field and considered it a good omen for hunting on Sunday. Turns out I wasn't wrong.
