Felix, the nutria were beginning to be a huge problem in the marshes of Maryland, destroying the roots of the marsh grasses. We solved the problem with an aggessive many year program of trapping.

Keep after them Felix! If their there I'm sure you will get them.
I'll be chasing hogs around Sebring, Fl in 2 weeks. Pretty certain there won't be any snow involved    :saywhat: .
Will let you know how we did after I get back on the 16th of March.
Good Luck and keep after them.

A friend of mine told me that on a private property of another friend,the wild boar were active again.Here they don't stay very long because when the gunners with the hounds see fresh tracks they start to pursue them and being a gang of 30 guys plus many dogs,well they make those poor boars running for the next valley.
I arrived around 4 PM with everything to set a stand,but I didn't find the good tree,position and fresh tracks I wanted so I scouted the area and saw some fresh tracks of the night before.I was able to understand their main direction for enter the area and with the sun declining i found a good spot with excellent wind.I was not really confident that I could find them before dark,but since I was there...
I was there only for 10 minutes when I heard a soft mouse walk in the soft silent ground,here there were 2 boars some 25 yards away from me,with one coming in my direction facing me,I was ready,but some branches were in the wrong position.8 yards,broadside,but covered by limbs,2 more steps,quartering away at 10 yards,a small opening between us.The CX Eritage 250 was on the way.I saw it running on a trail and after few seconds I heard a noise of broken limbs:the VPA Terminator has done its work.
The socond boar was farther away,it made a roar and went in the direction of its brother.Silence.

So I called my friend and told him I had a shot.He said don't move I'll be there in 10 min with my blod tracking dog.Well I waited while the dark was approching being confident of a good hit and of a good dog.These boars are incredible,they don't let too much tracks also when hitten hard.
When my friend arrived(he is a bowhunter too)he said the dog had a problem and was on its way by the veterinary(his wife,by the way).So we would be the trackers.With a muddy soil and snow on the ground it wasn't difficult to track it,also if the first 20 yards were almost withoud blood.
After that Ray Charles could jhave followed the trail and in 50 total yards it was down!Arrow entered a bit too much on the back but a good angle and 720 grains helped the arrow to take liver and lungs.Within 1 hour from the hit the boar was hanging for cure the meat.It will be a line of Salami in few days.LOL.

Feliciano I knew that you'd never just walk away empty handed if it could be helped.

You helped it my friend... congratulations!!

Thanks again for sharing your hunt with us.

God bless,Mudd
