I just want to share an ironic story, for the hunters out there!?
I was hog hunting with my dad, and where we were, we couldn’t shoot any deer. But of course we saw no hogs only deer.
We were in a hut, and there were 3 does, all perfect eating size, about 150 lbs, and tender meat. They were probably about 100 yards away when they entered the field. And they kept coming closer, because the wind was blowing at him and I. In the end they ended up getting about 5 yards from the window in the hut. Literally 5 yards! I mean I could practically see there eye lashes.
Does anyone else have a similar story?
I was in South Georgia on 3000 acres a buddy of my dads, property. Me and my dad, have been hunting there for the past two years, and we have seen several big bucks, and a couple nice size does. Why would you say it was unlikely, to find a 150 lbs doe in the south anyway?
that isn’t ironic. it’s just unlucky. this ‘cosmic irony’ nonsense that you americans have invented is total bs.
I had a guy eating a hamburger in the breakroom at work criticize me as I flipped through the Cabela’s add looking at hunting stuff because it was ‘barbaric to kill animals’
Where are you hunting hogs? 150 LB doe? Down south? Hard to believe. Sure as heck isn’t FL.
I have a 12 minute video of a button buck slowly walking along a stream at a bay on Kodiak Island…….. it walks up to a small 16′ boat with two hunters sitting inside – one is taking the video – and they tape it sniffing the other guys ear, and then slowly walking away.
Brain dead deer.
I got to spend one of those perfect mornings hunting in western Montana, cold enough to see your breath, no wind, slept great the night before, perfect breakfast. Sat out there for four and a half hours and didn’t see a freakin thing. Walk back to the truck, unload the rifles, climb in, get a cup of coffee, and start up the truck. One of the biggest black tails I’ve ever seen pops up 40 yards from the truck. Looks at me and the rancher, you can see the air shoot from his nose, flick of tail and he’s out of there like a mother in laws love.
Yep now I know why we call it huntin’
I’ve been close enough to deer and elk to slap them as they go by-seriously. One time I thought for sure I was going to have to fore arm a doe because we met head on and she didn’t see me til the last second-talk about a sight. I’ve come off a mountain at the end of the day and here are 30 deer standing in the field at the bottom-of course in some land owners “POSTED” field, or have the biggest buck I’ve seen in 5 years standing in the neighbor’s yard eating her shrubs-residential street at 8 in the morning. I’ve seen elk standing in front yards farther away from town, not a care in the world. We get moose going through residential areas all the time,even bears.
Helps to be in N Idaho and eastern Washington, but yes, been real close to animals,including moose at less than 20 feet during an archery season-I was lucky she saw me as no threat to her calf and they ended up just walking away.
Yes, this usually happens the day before deer season starts or the day after it ends. This is also why a lot of hunters are going bald from tearing their hair out in frustration.
I HATE when that happens!
So did you ever get any hogs?
