My First Trip to Pig Paradise!......All Done...

[azhunter]

OH yea..I am all ears.    

[Guru II]

We went to Mr. Rob's stand.....

Before I say anymore we had been back there before and Mr. Terry had found a tree about 10 yds away from the ladder stand that seemed good for a short stand "perfect for me" we thought...

So after getting to Mr. Rob's stand and temporarily spooking a group of 20-30 pounders. We put up another Lone Wolf climber, but while Mr. Terry and my Dad were setting the stand the hogs came back! I scrambled to get either my bow or my dad's because he had one of my arrows in his bow quiver and his bow weighed the same as mine I ended up getting his bow and got an arrow nocked... Got to go eat breakfast be back soon  

[BDann]

Now we're talkin!  Thank God for snow days!    

[kwc]

wow just like your dad left handed,, great shot, great to be around,and now telling great stories and making us wait with anticapation i cant wait for more.

[Guru]

When we saw those hogs run off, we just knew they'd be back soon so Terry and I were scrambling to get the stand set quickly for Cade and get him set. We got it on the tree about 6ft. up...and the hogs showed up as Cade was just telling....

Round two!!!!!

Come on Cade  

[twitchstick]

Great so far!  

[Marty]

Cade, Can your dad make me some pumpkin bread too?

[Guru II]

My dad says anytime Mr. Marty    

Where was I now...

I grab my dad's bow and got an arrow nocked. I looked up and saw the hogs... DANGIT! They had seen me and were almost out of sight around the bend in the road, and before I knew it they were gone...

[Tater]

Just got a chance to get caught up on the story here.

     Awesome so far, looks like I just got caught up in time...!

[4dogs]

 This is great!

[Guru II]

Well, we got the stand set and Mr. Terry and my Dad heaved me up onto the tree where I then climbed to the actual stand. My Dad then got up in Mr. Rob's stand and Mr. Terry got back on the 4 wheeler and went to corn a short part of the "The Killer Kilometer" for us.

After about 10 minutes or so I was all set and my Dad was just about ready... because he had to get the Video Camera ready... Mr. Terry came around the corner heading toward "The Bottom". He quickly checked to see if we were good with the setup and then he was off to "The Bottom".

[Guru]

Just so y'all know...I got up into the stand before Cade and made sure it was set well, and got the hand climber set so he had a seat.

 We had a lot of confidence in this setup...he was close, not too high, and had a good backround with the big tree the stand was on....it looked good!

I got the camera set and started to wait...

Cade taking a practice draw...

It would be a short wait...  

[Guru II]

About a half hour later I hear a slight whistle and look up at my Dad. I hear him say "They're back and coming down the road". Once that was said I immediately pick my bow up. After, I look up and see the same group of hogs coming in hot once they see the corn.

[Tsalt]

Oh yeah... About to be some arrows flung!

[leatherneck]

Now your talking. Great looking set-up there.

[Guru II]

Immediately my heart starts to beat as if its popping out of my chest. I'm Pumped!

They get to the corn and form a line almost like a "hog formation"?    The hogs keep getting closer and then they finally reach the feeder. I see a hog and start to draw... It moved!

My Dad had told me before the hunt that the hogs moved a lot, but I never thought that they moved so fast in so little time!

I start to pull back now on a different hog a tannish, brownish looking hog...

I get to full draw and let the arrow fly...
