Got up to an early cold morning and got ready. Nathan Judd and I headed out with Rick. Nathan and Judd were hunting hogs, I was after a bobcat.
We dropped Nathan and Judd off and then went to a brushy field on a tall tripod stand. I called using the electronic caller for about 2 hours, more on than off. The caller is enough to make you batty for that long. No predators showed during the time. It was, however, a beautiful morning. Very sunny and rapidly warming. Rick picked me up and showed me where there were bobcats tracks in the road. Maybe.
Judd hadn't gotten anything and Nathan had seen one smallish hog on the stand but it was moving too fast to get lined up on it. We fed the stands around Hemingway. All had been hit hard. The stand I was on during the previous evening had several very small hogs on it.
Went back to the lodge and then down to Georgetown. Ate breakfast at a really good breakfast bar and fed the plantation stands.
Headed back to the lodge for a while and then went out to hunt hogs for the evening around Hemigway. I was on the same stand Nathan was on in the morning. As I was getting into the stand, several (around 10) small hogs were running around the corn pile. They were there for around an hour and approximately 16 turkeys came in for about 10 minutes. They left and a short time later the little hogs came back. Weather was nice; cooling and extremely still. About half an hour before dark, the little hogs returned and stayed there until it was too dark to shoot.
Nobody else had seen anything. We went back to the lodge and ate spaghetti for dinner.
Nice day, but wish someone would have been able to connect with a pig.
