Tonight's Hog Hunt

[red]

Funny lookin' hog...had this guy at 18 yards for 30 minutes. Do believe ol' Red could have made the shot. Two things to note:

1. ThermaCell running the whole time...he didn't seem to notice.

2. ASAT leafy suit...he looked in my direction several times. This is a nice light garment to wear in Florida (or early season anywhere). I do believe in this camo's effectiveness.

Also saw a couple of turkeys. So, no hogs but a delightful time in the woods. Lots of time to play, shoot..don't shoot.

Aaah. One of them long legged Floridian hogs.
Good to know the thermacell didn't bother him too much.

Have actually been using a ThermaCell for 2 years. Really remarkable product and almost a necessity during mosquito season...which runs June of one year to June of the next here in FL.

Thanks for sharing Red. That old boy looks to be plenty healthy so thats good. And yes I do believe it it were long legged hawg season this he would have been in the cooler.

Hey Craig...I noticed that as well, he looked very healthy indeed. Nothing like sitting in a stand and watching unpressured animals. Folks that don't hunt don't get that part.

Red we seem to have the same kind of luck. Last night finally got time to go set at the bear bait station for a while and this is what I had come in.
About 25 yards



Getting closer



As close as it can get



It is great just to get out into the outdoors.

Great pics, akdd...yep, always see what ya can't shoot. Still, what a great time being in the woods and getting to see creatures that close. Thanks for sharing.

BTW: I have a cousin living in Clam Gulch. We hunted Kodiak together for Sitkas in '99. We also hunted moose around his cabin. Saw a cow, no bulls.

I live about 250 miles from Clam Gulch on the Glenn highway
