Hunted at TBR last night. Hogs had been coming and a check of the cameras revealed a particular loner spotted boar had been by the previous morning around 4:00 am. There is another spotted boar that comes with a companion, but no companion was seen during the hunt.
This guy popped out of the woods just to the left but did not seem interested in coming any closer. In fact, he seemed to want to go down into the creek bottom where he is looking in this frame. Turns out, there is the what is left of the butchered remains of a deer and the spot where the hog is looking is the landowner's bone yard. Here is the frame just as the shot was taken. I stayed on the hog and checking the area for well over a minute until I was satisfied, answered a text from the landowner, looked up, and the hog was gone.
I shot him right on the lip of the cliff to the ravine. I found blood at the top where I shot him and then down directly below was the carcass. Apparently, he spasmed down the cliff face. I will be back in the morning for photographs and will get the video uploaded when I get the photos done. He is one of the spotted boars and now it is a matter of determining which one.
Usually, I have to drag the hogs a considerable distance to get them into the bone yard and this guy just flopped down there for me - very convenient except I wanted to get him weighed and pics taken, LOL.
