So we were up at 4:00am and off to the airport....Arrive and park long term...Cade on the shuttle...
 


Flight to Atlanta was fine, we had time to eat an burrito. Cade was trying hard to finish up his homework he'd brought so he'd be caught up after missing a few days at school....
•  

That's when the first text came in from Terry....

I quote...."IT'S TARGET RICH BOYS!!!"

I wish I would have taken a pic of Cade's face!

After that he bombarded us with pic after pic....we couldn't wait to get on that plane to Augusta!

Then came the delay!!!  Something wrong with the plane!!!!!

Found another plane for us and we were on our way again only 1/2hr behind schedule.

Another good flight and we were waiting for Terry to come around to pick us up......always great to see my brother from another mother!

He couldn't believe how much Cade had grown.  Then we started to get the real skinny on what was waiting for us....this was going to be good...REAL GOOD!!!!!

Fast forward to Terry coming back from getting some corn out....Cade was in the pines shooting when Terry came flying in and just about skidded to a stop asking where Cade was....it was time to go....like now!!!!!

That's not an exaggeration either! This is literally 10 minutes into the hunt!!

This was right around the corner from "Woods' Stand" working toward "Sunset".....enjoy!

     

     

Terry said to me we're going to try the old "walk on by" trick...

The hogs had moved just inside the cover, we knew they'd be right back out. Terry told Cade to get over by the mound of dirt, stand still, and get ready!

He told him what we were going to do... I told Cade not to worry 'cause hogs can't count....

Terry and I moved on and left Cade. We moved ahead about 40yds and got off into some cover where we could watch Cade...

Here's what happened...
•  

A minute or so later...
•  

He had to be having a problem figuring out which one to shoot!
•  

Full draw....
•  

I can remember thinking..."oh my, he's going to kill his first hog less than a half hour into his 1st hunt! But.....

It was a swing and a miss!

And here they come right for Terry and I....

That's right, as Terry said above.....after Cade shot we could see him start looking behind him. Then he'd look at us, then back behind him. It was obvious there was something behind him and a minute later he looked at us with a concerned look on his face....then waved us over...

When we got to him, it was easy to see he was a little shook and wasn't comfortable standing there by himself!  He said it sounded like there was a "huge hog" behind him!!!!

He wanted out!!!!

Remember....he's only 12yrs. old, and this is only 1/2hr into his first hog hunt!!!!!


We moved on and just kept running into hogs. I mean it was crazy!

 About half way through the area that's called "The Bedroom", Cade whispered to me the quote of the hunt.... "THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!!!"    

As we neared the area of "Rob's Stand" with Terry on point, he stopped again and waved Cade up front...more hogs!

•    
•    

       

       

He never did get close enough for a shot...but what action he was having!

We continued on into "The Bottom"....
•    

As we neared the newly relocated "Racetrack Stand" Terry through his hand up once again for us to stop.....the was a good hog at the feeder, and well hidden behind some cover for a stalk...game on again!!

But for whatever reason, Cade only got about 2 steps into his stalk when the hog decided to walk out from behind the cover out into the open and busted Cade...dang it!

We turned around and headed out...saw many more hogs. But no more shots for Cade.

What an incredible start to Cade's first hog hunt, it couldn't have started any better!!!!

At dark we headed for camp exhausted from travel and adrenaline.....1st campfire of the trip...
•    

Cade would sleep very, very well...
