Rob,

I fully understand what you are talking about. I had 3 small bucks at 15 yards for over 20 minutes. I thought they were relaxed when the next thing I know they are headed into the brush at a high rate of speed. Never did figure out what spooked them. I also never seen tree rats run deer off a feeder until I came here.

Hoping to make it back for next years hunt just have to wait for the vets to commit first to see what is left over.

Even though it was a slower year than usual I had a blast.

Yep...that last pic....I've got film of a big boar hog clearing that 'J' shaped limb and actually backing up and ducking at the shot.

Single boars can duck ya as well.  I also got reminded of that again this year.  :knothead:

Hit the nail on the head with the singles Terry. That little hog that came in the last morning was about as spooky as any deer I had seen on the ranch.

Ferret, You better show up.If Robert didnt have bowhunter4life with him he would have stepped on his lip. I had couple of vetrans with me and a few other shooters just could not get quality game in the right spot. We did get 2 deer killed over 7 1/2 years old. And hogs. SHEP

Gary's buck was on the back of the truck by the time I was picked up that morning.  He did him good, and he fell in sight...

Is this a fenced in hunt? I was looking at the pic on the TradGang home page and it looks like a fence.
 From their web site the place looks huge!! I bet it's a fun place to go to.   :thumbsup:

No...its not a 'fenced' hunt.  Its a 10,000 acre cattle ranch.  That's a barbed wire cattle fence in the back ground.

10,000 acres, man that is a ton of room to stretch!!!!   :bigsmyl:  
 Price for hogs doesn't look too bad either. I really want to get a truly wild one someday.  
 Supposedly Michigan has wild hogs but I don't know of anyone who has actually seen them. The only way we can hunt them here is on a fenced ranch. Grocery shopping with a broadhead...

David I forgot that doe I shot was 7 1/2 years old too.  Two deer 16 years total age. That's old. Almost as old as you...In deer years.
