I went out yesterday evening about 30 minutes before dark.. A few pigs were going into a maize field wrecking havoc so I was going to try and intercept them.
Through earlier scouting I had seen a couple of trails under a barbed wire fence that they had been using. Just before dark I situated myself about 20 yards downwind of one of these trails..
Darkness fell and still no pigs, but I was there and decided to hang around for a while. Sure enough half an hour after dark I saw a form move across the turnrow and go into the maize..
I had a little one cell AA headlight and turned it on and eased forward.. I thought I could hear the pig and kept moving trying to see it but never had any success. However I heard some others just upwind about 100 yards away. So I crept through the maize towards them..
As I got closer I tried to stay down wind of them but there were several and I couldn't keep track of them.. They continued to feed all around me but the maize is so thick I never saw them.
I dogged them for 2 hours until finally this little sow poked her head out and eased into an opening. She was about 15 yards and moving.
I made a terrible shot !! Actually the arrow hit well but I'm not sure why.. I know I didn't get close to full draw and snap shot. Suppose I thought my opportunity was right NOW.. Anyway,
she got the point ---------.
