When that iron is hot , keep striking


       Tonight's plan was a one and done to get some rest and get over the current bug.
Property H was still hot but I stopped off at another spot to see if they were hitting the fields good
there yet. A single hog I know well was in the usual spot and he spotted me as I crested the hale bales and took off again. The full moon helped this guy  but I know I will find him there again, maybe on
my next hunt.May need the heavy artillery for this guy and my long range set-up. Spotted him about 275 yards out and in the full moon he had a slight advantage plus my hefty profile is more apt for rolling than low crawling.

      So I head back exactly where I took the last two hogs and as I approach the first old oak , it seemed this tree was close to if not done dropping it's feed. I made my way to the back two trees and as soon as I crested the hill I spotted my prize. Six to eight potentials about 290 yards out. A quick wind check sent me in a quarter circle around a wooded finger and down to their bottom. They stayed locked under that tree as I made my approach.

     I stalked to the edge of a brush island within range of the 300 Blackout and as close as I could get for the video and sent a 110 grain Night Ops LLC Controlled Chaos round on it's flight. The rest for this hog is history and as I stood over her taking this picture, the acorns continued dropping all around. They will be back , believe I  will be too.
