I hate that I missed it. My wife's grandfather fell gravely ill and ended up passing away, so I needed to be with the family.

Good stuff.  Red clay washed off the van last night, tent hung up to dry in the sunroom.  Will try to download my pictures from the camera and post tonight.

Drove around to do a little scouting and took some pics. Take a right at this big ole tree and it brings ya to the river and boat landing.

I walked the whole first day on friday in the pouring rain looking for fresh sign. Sometimes the rain seemed like it was coming up from the bottom  :laughing:

I finally found good sign and it seemed that was the only area that was holding hogs on the north end of the wma.

Sorry I missed...my youngest was singing in Savannah.  Only get one chance to be your kids hero....and I love hearing my girls sing.  Maybe if ya'll do it again I can make it...would have loved to.

Enjoying the stories and pics.....thanks for sharing.

I think I got a shirt though....maybe I owe someone shipping.    :dunno:

Thanks to the wind changing direction every five minutes I never did get to see a live hog but I was hoping maybe I "accidentally" redirected a hog to another trad hunter.

Back at camp...getting together for the group photo

to me it looks like Mr. Burton is one tough man....all you guys wearing long sleeves, coats, jackets and he's in a T-shirt?  Montana must have been cold this year and Georgia was a warm respite.     :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:
