And then the rain came...got to make the 20+ min walk back to the vehicle in driving rain...but hey, at least I'm able to do so. I should've known when the squirrels bedded down a little before 9a.m. that it was about to break loose. Think I'm gonna sleep in tomorrow, maybe get out tomorrow afternoon. Good luck to all

It's been thunder and lightning in South Texas (Artesia Wells) since around 6:15p.  Stalked around barefoot bc my shoes were too loud in the mud - never tried that before but I loved it.  Can't get any more silent than bare feet.  Put a stalk on a hog around dark but couldn't close the distance.  Morning hunt is doubtful with all this rain...

Had a turkey and a porcupine in the tree next to me this morning. Porcupine didnt make it

It was sticky yesterday morning but I got lucky enough to cut an arrow loose!

After a long but easy trailing job, the 150g WW did its job with a quartering away shot.

Thanks guys! That's a good start to this season with my new Kempf Trophy Hunter Longbow named "Sugar Mama" cuz my wife had the bow made for me.  I told her, Ol' Sugar Mama was sweet to daddy this morning;) I sold my old Trophy Hunter to Pivo and he took his first trad harvest with it last year. Thought he'd like the pics. Wishing my fellow Texan Trad Shooters a Safe and Succesfull season.

Sweet hog Troy.  Way to break the ice.
