My son and I headed out last Saturday in the freezing temps to hunt the crack barrel season. It was strange seeing what looked like snow piled up in the woods after the ice storm we had Friday.
We walked in to a place I've been looking at on the map Saturday evening after setting up camp. Demp saw a couple does right before dark and let them walk. We left our stands and went back in the am. Around nine Demp shoots then text me and says hogs. About then I see hogs coming but they in some thick briars so I didn't shoot. About then a nice sow about 125 pops out and walks in the open in front of me and I let her have it.
That was it for Sunday. We went back in there early Monday. Right after daylight I hit the grunt call. A few minutes later I hear the water behind me and see a doe easing in looking. I watch her for a few minutes and she was alone so I decide to take her. A nice 1.5 yo doe.
Maybe an hour later I catch movement and here comes a hog headed for the thicket. He stops to check something out and the .444 barked again.
We bounced around to different spots with Demp shooting at another hog and missing, he said both were far and moving. Wednesday morning we went. Back where I killed Monday but moved to different trees. It was just after good light and Demp text me some junk. I text him to stay off the phone and be watching. As soon as I put the phone down and look up a. JFK was in my lane 125 yards. I yelled at the deer , he stopped and I shot and dropped him. A nice young six point.
It got hot and things were kind of slow. It Demp finally got him a hog, a nice big sow.
Had a great week
