Great Times at G & G Hunt

[Tomme]

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.
