Default Great Times at G & G Hunt

Been trying to catch up since I got home this afternoon, but needed to post and let everyone know what a great time we all had.

The turkey didn't cooperate this year, but all told six hogs were arrowed and several other people had shots.

Me I never pulled a bow, but did get to within 12 yards on a stalk of a bunch under a feeder. Just couldn't get a clear shot. Later on while sitting my tripod as the sun was going down, I heard crunch, crunch coming up the road like it was a big boar, slowly making it's way toward my set up. I also noted that I was getting cold, and it was on my right side. This would indicate that the wind had shifted and was blowing toward the road. GROWL, and the sound of breaking brush indicated that the big boar noticed that fact as well. Busted again.

Oh well, at least I wasn't alone. Jack Frost told me he had cows among his turkey decoys and figured no gobblers would go to that so he went out to pull them. Up the road a gobbler was coming in at full trot. At least he was coming in till he saw Jack among those decoys.

High hog honors go to Joshua Pawlik who harvested two pigs and Robert Jones won the balloon shoot with a record setting shot of 69 yards. Thank goodness someone won it. We started shooting at 160 yards and I had fired a bunch of arrows and must have walked 10 miles before Scott popped that two inch balloon.

Finally, the Curse of the Concrete Pig continues. While Joel McMurty took a hog using trad gear, he wasn't in the contest, so anyone wanting to see "the pig" can still check it out on Rusty's porch at Brushy Hill.

Great hunt people, Jon and I really enjoyed it.


PS - I have pictures, but will have to forward them to Brad to post.

Nice shot Bobby. As always had a great time with old friends and some new ones as well.
That might have been the best ballon shoot yet, I mean there was more BS than you could shake a stick at, all in fun.
Also Brad Adams MISSED a hog at 5 YARDS
Looking forward to next time
Ronny

Aw, Brad was just giving you guys a chance. You're only making fun of him to cover your own insecurities...

It was a great hunt and yes I did miss. Thanks Lost, I got your back!! Buff at least I didn't let somebody video my miss! The weather couldn't have been better but the wind was kinda tricky Friday night!! Once Tomme gets his rest (He's old) he will send me some pics to post up!! There is one pic that RNS has that probably shouldn't be shown on a family site!!It was great seeing all the kids set out with bows in hand to scare the heck out of some rabbits!! I met some new friends and some old! I look forward to next year and a BIG THANKS to BRUSHY HILLS and Pete for supporting the LSBA!

Default grunts and gobbles.

Any day in the field is a good one .All you guys were great company,and yes there was morebs than you could shake a stick at but that was the fun part.Every body came together to laugh and had a great time.Oh Brad don't feel bad I shot a hog and nathan shot the same hog twice more and we still did not recover the super hog.It is better to have missed than hit and not recovered.I met alot of new friends this weekend and that is what I cherished about the whole hunt.Yall are all realy great people to be around.By the way my ribs still hurt from laughing so much saturday night.Man there was some stories.

Sounds like yall had a great time even though the turkeys did not show up. The one pic looked like an old movie when the archers were shooting at the approaching army. Bob
