4-13-13

This morning I guided Shane Keyser on a pig hunt. We hit the hills at first light and began searching for our target. We started working the hills up high this morning and were not having any luck so we headed down into the lower brush country and continued our pursuit. We found the same results down in the lower brush, nothing was out moving. The lovely North wind was howling, keeping all of the animals in the brush. About 9:00 we decided to head back up top to see if we could catch some pigs making their way to water. As we came up the first hill and rounded the corner I caught movement out of the corner of my eye, pigs! We put together a quick plan and made a stalk towards the reservoir so we could get a better look at the pigs. As soon as we got to a good vantage point Shane picked out a good meat boar and layed the hammer down. The shot was true and he ended up with a 80 pounder for the butcher. Despite the howling wind we got it done and Shane was a happy camper!
