Well, yesterday was the last day of our small game season and sadly, I did not get a chance to hunt "technically" the close of our '07 season. It was a bitter-sweet day...knowing deer season was really long gone and now the hogs on public land had to wait till turkey season for me to pursue them again.
Chuck (CJ) Pearson invited me a few weeks ago to take a look at some private property that bordered a river near my house. Supposedly, the place was et (that's the past tens of "eat" for my yangese bretheren) up with hogs. The old farmer told CJ that the hogs were tearing up his fields....and the bears were scaring the horses.
So, being the good samaritan that he is, CJ offered his services as pest controller....and invited me and Chase (my eldest) along for a look. A bit saddened by the end of the season, I jumped at the chance to be in the woods with bow in hand. In Georgia, on private land, hogs are legal year round. Did I mention how good a friend CJ is for inviting us? :D
CJ picked us up around 1pm and we quickly were on our way. The farm was litterally around the corner...down a road I pass every morning on my way to work.
