Jim and Bill,
Got some pictures to send to you tonight, Jim.
Also the hunter, Dan, took some video with his head mounted Go Pro. Don't know if you can use it, Bill, but I can hook you up.
Things are going great in Ft Pierce. Eight hunters and 13 hogs taken plus a few misses.
The "double" location seems to be the winner for consistency...and Jim wants to move it! (I know why...and he's right.) Over 30 hogs spotted there
in two days. Every time Dan came out of the hunt area he was grinning from ear to ear. It was a pleasure to guide him.
I have to get on my soapbox once again about clients who are serious about scent, sound, and sight. The hunters who take the right precautions always see way more game.
Dan, just like CJ, took home two coolers of delicious hog meat.
Bill...I'll send the photos to Jim for posting and if you want the video, call me and I'll give you Dan's contact info.
Your secret crossing is covered up with hog tracks OMG!  We got two big one's on trail cam there.
Checked out Sneed too, so we will be in touch.

Bill,
Jim and I fenced the corn-lovin horse out of East Grove feeder last Sunday. He can't get to any of the big feeders now. You won't have to be throwing oranges at him next trip. No problem shooting over the wire.

I think the Mad Dog Mike O'Connell stalking sequence could be made into a feature film. One minute we are worrying about being charged by an angry boar, the next we're doubled over laughing at Mike's whispered jokes and antics.
We had 3 groups of hogs on three sides of us(including several boars fighting over a sow) and a black sow comes up behind me within 5 feet!

Irv that little crossing will no doubt be the demise of more that one monster boar.

You can have all the feeders stocked with lots of corn 24/7, but the biggest hogs are going to move at their  time and pace. That crossing is a natural hot spot. If it was up to me I would not set a feeder there. Hunt it like you would a big buck. Low impact and stealthy.

Found a few more land options for you to check on for me...

Jimmy-I have finished up editing my footage of Mikes woods hunt....great stuff....my ribs hurt from laughing...classic!!
