Took my Bear rep out on a pig hunt last night. As always we enter stands in the daylight just in case they are hitting at dawn. With my guard down, I entered the no name stand rather quickly and not as quiet as I should have only to bust some fatties from the pines surrounding the stand. They had been in there about 30 minutes before I got there and had cleaned the place out and were in the process of leaving no stone unturned when I sent them on their way without great alarm. Well, I said a few unpleasant things about myself and after spreading some more corn, entered my pearch. Both my rep and I were serenaded by pig fights and squealing all night long until about 9 P.M. when a small group of fatties chased a sow through my area. They knew something was up, but since they had love on their mind didn't hang around long enough to work out the details. I'm getting used to it, but it can be frustrating having any pigs...big or not in range and not being able to do anything about It. Unfortunately, even though the pigs came in close, Jeff (my Bear rep) didn't get an opportunity.
