Yes, it's true, I once fell out of a ground blind(thanks John)lol.
I picked Bill up at the Fort Lauderdale airport Friday morning and it was on to the ranch.
We would be hunting a ranch near Sebring, Fl Friday afternoon and Saturday all day.
The guide, Chris Jolly and his friend Bubba met us at the gate. From there we climbed aboard Chris' Ranger/quad thing and off we went.
(I didn't want to leave Chris in the dust of my "Action Grand Caravan".I told him if he got stuck I'd be happy to pull him out).
We checked some fields for hogs and saw an incredible amount of rooting, acre after acre that looked roto-tilled.
We parked and stalked into a big field with a pond surrounded by tall grass. Bubba thought he saw something move in the grass. Bill moved in with Chris following with the video camera.
Bubba followed me with my camera. We could hear a hog rooting in the grass but couldn't see it.
I snuck around the other side of the pond in case the hog ran that way. After over an hour, we decided to force the issue, I moved into the water to flush the hog. Bubba and I could see the hog facing us and popping its teeth mere yards away.
Finally, the big hog moved out of the grass on Bill's side and he shot her behind the shoulder, and then again quartering away as she ran our way. Bubba and I steadied ourselves as we heard her crashing through the tall grass. She turned and I shot her at about five yards. She was mortally wounded but I wasn't taking any chances.
Bubba and I ran out of there and she charged forward but then turned and fell.
It was the biggest hog I had ever seen, easily over 300 lbs.We've had a bumper crop of acorns and all of the hogs are heavy with fat this year.
One of my cameras malfunctioned but Bill will get me some(tomorrow I hope) he took that will be better quality.We got two videos of the action,also.More to come, a lot more.....
