Way to go Cade.  Did you dad and Terry cook up the hog for you and serve it to you on a silver platter???  Great job.

So awesome to see those pix for the first time!

And to read about it all put together by both Terry and Cade is just about too cool....I luv it!


So where was I on this....
 "About half way back to "Woods' Stand" I heard the 4 wheeler. It was getting closer so I double timed it toward them....I was excited to see how they'd done....it seemed early for them to be back.... [dunno]"

....So as they where getting closer, I noticed something in the rack on the front of the 4 wheeler....

My first thought was...."man I don't remember Terry taking his bobcat quiver out of camp this morning"...

I knew he hadn't, because it had his wood arrows in it that he shoots with his selfbow, and I knew he wasn't hunting with it this morning....hmmmmmm....

They sped up, and just about the time I realized what I was looking at, I got a thumbs up   :thumbsup:

I thought..."oh my god, he got one!!!"

I couldn't believe it....he'd done it!!!!!!!

They told me all about it an I just still couldn't believe it....but there it was...Cade's "first" hog!!!!

After I calmed down enough to think straight I told Terry .....

"if it wasn't me that was with him when he killed his "first" hog, I can't think of a better person for it to be than you....thank you brother"

I couldn't stop smiling.... but you should have seen the smiles on their faces!!

I was so excited and happy....I didn't take a single picture when they pulled up.....

Now it was time to go back and look for the hog he'd hit the evening before....

We parked at the "Triangle" gathered our gear, and headed in....

Almost immediately we got into pig...as usual, Terry and I just hung back....but we stayed close enough that if things got a little "hairy" for Cade, we could be next to him in a flash!

There were little hogs darting back and forth from side to side across the road. They were also moving away from us as....really tough catching up these guys...

About half way in we ran into another group and sent Cade ahead again.....
•  


We could see a bigger hog in this group as well!
•  

•  

As Terry and I watched and whispered back and forth...we became aware of some loud slashing...there was another hog in the water eating corn....and it was a big one!!!

We could tell Cade had shifted his focus to this big hog,  as he slid himself over to the right side of the road to make better use of his cover. This was a BIG hog!

 Undaunted....Cade closed in....
•  

Here he's about 20yds....and stopped just in time so that the hog didn't catch him...
•  

Head down, he closed in further....
•  

He was doing it perfect!  Even though I knew he couldn't hear me...the whole time I was whispering encouragement to my boy....
•  

When he got here, less than 15yds., I remember whispering to Terry......"he's got'um"!!

Those words and the feeling you felt right then and there will play back in your mind forever. It doesn't get any better than seeing our kids succeed for the first of many times. Sends chills down my spine bud.

Thank you guys for all the congratulations...

Now lets get on with the story.  :)  

After that last pic was taken I started the side step maneuver, I got less than 10 yds from the pig when I started to lift my bow...
