Got set-up this morning in the woods behind the house at 7:45. It was another beautiful morning. A coon waddled by at 8 & that was pretty much it until 9:50 except for the birds at which time I spotted a bushy moving up a tree about 20 yards in front of me. I followed it in the scope until it stopped, I popped, & iplopped at the base of the tree. Within a minute or 2, I saw another 1 moving in the tree tops deeper into the woods. I knew I couldn’t sneak on it so all I could do was sit, watch, & wait to see if it moved my way in the trees or on the ground.
Between 10:00 & 10:45, I saw a couple more squirrels back in the woods but they never came close enough for a shot.
About 11:15, I saw something moving along the edge of the woods but couldn’t tell what it was. It could have been a deer but didn’t really move like a deer. I also though, maybe a yote as I have seen them here. I kept a sharp look-out but never saw what it was.
About 11:25, 1 moved across the woods floor in front of me. Again, I put the scope on it until it stopped. I hesitated for just a second & it started moving again never giving me another shot. At 11:40, 1 hoped on the log that runs parallel to the trail, jumped down & ran to a large shag jumping up on the side. It moved around the back with only its tail sticking out. I had the .17 up & watched. After several seconds, it stuck its head out on the other side, the .17 barked, & #15 hit the ground. About 10 minutes later, 1 started barking behind me. I could see it bouncing around in the tops & decided to try a stalk but it shut-up & I couldn’t find it.
Both of these were males, an old boar & a younger 1. They are number 14 & 15. HEY RON & WALT!!!! We have chowder & either Picadillo or cacciatore or maybe both. I’ll probably pressure cook the 6 that are soaking in the fridge Sunday & maybe start cooking next week. I’m going to spread it out over several days. It’s too much hassle to try & do it all in a day or 2.
I picked up several more rocks to help Mike lower his machinery repair bill.
