Went down to Fort Stewart for two days of hog hunting last week and first day was a disaster. My good area was closed so went to new area. No hog sign. Went to camp ground and my primitive site for decades was being changed to RV camping. Started to check out but cell phone dead. Went to Verizon and got phone fixed. Had to jump thru hoops to get back on post. Insurance, car registration, photo and finger print. Checked into new area for afternoon hunt but realized when I got to area, I had forgot my orange vest. Went back to camp ground but could not check out/in because automated system was down. Stopped by check-in next morning to check out and system was up and my area was open. Went to area and began walking up logging road. Saw hogs coming down road. Stepped off road and got ready with rifle on rest and ready to pull trigger. Hogs got within 30 yards and one turned broadside. It was two 150 lb. sows with pigs. Started to pull trigger because I did not want two sows any closer. That is when the Sondra effect came over me. Sondra is the lady I have dated over four years and I would have hard time explaining why I killed some little pigs mama. After a nerve racking two minutes the sows wandered off into the bushes. Any closer and I would have shot in self defense. A lot of trouble and no hog. Told my neighbor who is head of wildlife at FS and he said shoot all you can because they destroy their food plots.
