The next day Jay showed up and took us fishing (thanks for leaving your boat Travis) while Jeremy and Paul fished out of their boat. No fish were harmed but we did get to check out some great scenery!
That afternoon we headed back to the lease with a new plan... spot and stalk!
We made it to the 1st crossroads where we started glassing when we saw lil Thads hog.
I made the quick choice for him to use a gun instead of his recurve for the shot, it was fast and clean!
I was very proud to say the least..
I know the rules here and will not post a hero pic with him because of how the hog was taken unless I get the approval from Terry.
After we got him loaded up, we were off to see if we could get one into bow range...
After seeing three more groups of hogs and one failed stalk, we finally saw a large group and the wind was good!
The sun was going down fast and we were on the move to try and close the distance..
By the time we reached them it was about dark, we did get within 15yds but the only shot would of ben through the green briars and I held him off...
What an amazing stalk though, our hearts were racing while we were trying not to make any noise going through those palmettos!!
That evening I just kept thinking about the gumbo that Jeremy's buddy's were cooking back at the cabin.
All we had to do is get out of the woods and make the 30 min drive back...
Haha, after we worked our way out we finally got to taste that Gumbo and it was worth waiting for!
Half served over rice and half served over potato salad, Delicious!!
What an amazing day!!!
