I guess it was that time of the month....

Rick set out a game camera at the "PIT" the Big hog comes in at 9:08pm and mills around then leaves but comes back just after midnight. the #30-#35 comes in 2-3 times during the day and even hit before daylight on most days. and that's the only visitors at the "Pit", he didn't get that big by being seen during the daylight.

Tuesday evening a #60 was seen near the Bamboo clearing (deb hunted that area one evening)but ran towards the creek, which means left the ranch.

I guess that's why they call it hunting and not killing.
However, we did remove a total of 7 hogs during her time here. But the big hogs were elsewhere's during her time here, I think they got a memo she was coming !!

Deb I'm glad you had a great time and it was a pleasure to meet you. maybe one day, I can make it to Texas and maybe hunt deer there.

When I first started to read the post, I thought you were gonna tell me "guess who showed up on the camera at the pit at 4pm the day after you left?". phew.......
Guess I didn't spook those others much for them to come in several times/day in daylight.
It was a real pleasure to meet and spend some great hunting time with you Mark. I learned alot from you, and, will start applying that info. I really enjoyed the time you spent teaching me how to shoot a recurve. That is something I really want to do more of.
Some of the coolest sites I saw, were what few tourists get to see. That deserves a great big MAHALO!!!!!!

Glad you had a good time and had enough stuff to keep ya busy when I wasn't able to be around. Just that time of the year. If I had been working we would of not been able to hunt as much.

Glad you enjoyed the recurve welcome to the dark side.It's just mostly 95% form and 5% percent mental.
I try to shoot every day at least 1-6 arrows. your boubt the only one I've seen get a second chance at a group of hogs, I did it once in all the years I've been doing Game management at the ranch.

I wished there were bigger hogs on the ranch, but you see what and how I do it on the ranch. With the restrictions of the management, sometimes I feel like a one legged man in a butt kicking contest, but that's something I work around.
Thanks for helping remove the hogs we did take off the ranch (8 in two weeks)

Maybe one of these days I can make it to Texas and finally drop the string on a Texas whitetail.

Oh, and when ya get that recurve, remember draw it for 5 seconds if you can hold it with out shaking, that's the one to start with. form form form
