Lucky number 7
As the seasons start to change and more food sources are popping up, persistence is key and tonight it was needed. The seventh spot was the lucky one as Brad and Alisha Moody traveled along with the Mailman after watching the videos and pictures on GOAT productions. Alisha wanted a stalk hunt and we made it happen.
We started the night off earlier than normal going after a problem group of young pigs that I got a complaint on but they did not show. Their pattern is changing so we moved to the next spot.
The second spot we heard a boar I believe was chasing a sow and moved into a feeding spot for a short sit. We again heard the boar grunting and crossing a creek but he never showed himself to us.
We moved again and again and got more aggressive.
The seventh location, four deer were bedded in a field and I caught heat far behind the deer,
We stalked past the deer and rounded a curve and there they were , eating at the V stand. We slid back into position 80 yards away from the group and set up the tripod.
The group was close together but as soon as Alisha identified the largest pig she dropped the big sow with the Palmetto State Armory 223 Wylde using Night Ops LLC 55 grain NBT .
The rest of the group ran directly at us and I directed her to one standing in the wide open. She dropped the second, I believe bouncing off the head and dropping it immediately. As we looked for the third, the second was kicking and got up and took off into the woods. Hogs are tough and Alisha did everything right this night. We stuck at it and it paid off.
