Forgot to mention....it will all be cleaned up by tomorrow morning. We seem to have some really hungry critters around here.
You truly can just walk up on them. And easily get within 50-75 yards. Doesn't seem to matter the terrain either. Gravel roads, thick brush, or just walking a creek.
It's our annual sandbass/whitebass run right now and the creeks are full of them. Well he was fishing and a big group of hogs came trotting up on him. He picked up some rocks and threw them at the hogs and yelled to scare them away. It didn't work. Boar hog charged him and cut him up pretty good. Luckily he was only about 1/2 mile from an EMS base station.
They only caught one hog. It was a little 150lb boar. Not big for this part of Oklahoma by any stretch. No cutters to speak of.
They left it in a field by the road. That next morning there were 30+ hogs lingering around that little boar. I know hogs are social, but that just seems strange. All the dog scent, people scent, and they still came out in the open to.....mourn?
That's happened a few times to me. We now have a rule that no one goes more than 100 yards from the house on the hunting property unless they bring at least one rifle along. The only exception is when I'm working with the tractor. I don't have a good way to carry one without it getting filthy from all the dust and dirt that gets stirred up. I do usually carry a pistol in a holster with a flap cover.My Brother and I went fishing this afternoon on one of the ponds. We left just a little before dark and had a Sow with 7-8 little ones run across the ranch road in front of us.
Didn't have my rifle or pistol with me. :banghead:

Have a blessed day,
