elkhunter Report post Posted January 22, 2009 6A has to have the highest density of pigs in the state along with the largest herds, your son should do great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Report post Posted January 26, 2009 Hey guys, we are back. Unfortunately we didn't find the pigs but had a good hunt. I'm not sure if it was the wet cold weather or a lot of pressure from the archery season, but we just weren't able to find the piggies. There was plenty of good sign and we had a ton of fun - just couldn't find the little buggers this time. Enjoy the pix... Good sign... Glassing hard... Great scenery... Skylined buck... Bucks closer - this is over 600 yards away so a little blurry.... One last chance... Consolation... Matt worked really hard and despite the hunt turning out to be much harder than either of us expected, he kept a great attitude and got to learn about how some hunts are just about the experience and not the kill. Hope you enjoyed it. Next hunt is Nicholas's first ever big game hunt - a pig hunt in 22, just days after his 10th birthday. Wish us luck! Jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tjhunt2 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 Great pictures and thanks for sharing with us. Memories are priceless. I love the pic of you with your arm around your son. Awesome pic right there for sure. TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Kauffman Report post Posted January 28, 2009 Jason, I have to agree with TJ...that picture is priceless and should be framed & put on the mantle. From the looks of the rest of the pictures I'd say the hunt was a huge success and a great bonding experience for the whole family. Congrats on a great hunt and tell Nicholas good luck!

Coach Report post Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks everyone. I've got the 22 HAM hunt so I should have a weekend of scouting/semi-hunting to find some pigs before Nick's hunt (he has 22 general). I don't really care if I get one on the HAM hunt - going to try with an 1858 (replica) cap and ball revolver if they make it easy - I just want to get some located before the footrace when the general season starts.
