Finally got a shot........
« on: September 18, 2014, 06:05:00 PM »
I was walking to my spot today and walked right up on two hogs.  Unfortunately I was distracted my the swarm of mosquitoes in my face and they saw me first.  I got too excited and missed twice but hopefully the first time jitters are outta the way.  My heart rate is still jacked but I'm sitting now so hopefully something strolls past.

I'm sure you'll get it done next time now that you got those misses out of the way!

Ya I feel ya brother. I've missed 3 so far. It's ok Ill have more opportunities.
Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.

It was already said but it was important.  

PICK A SPOT.  

That is probably the biggest reason we miss.  It is difficult to do when we are excited, but so important.

I'd take a "miss" over no shot or not being in the woods everyday! Even during deer season I won't (can't!) pass up a shot at a pig. Late January to mid-March is our peak here, so after deer season is done I'll be right back out there chasin' pork. Good luck!
