The East Texas Ranch I hunt has a swampy low area with several high activity hog trails running in and out of it. I decided to walk back in there with waders and see what I could find!
I was a little over knee deep in muck and water when a boar popped up not ten feet to my left. He just stood there looking at me like hey your not supposed to be back here! Since he was alone I decided to shoot him with my 1911. Bang flop!
He was not alone! Soon as I shot pigs started standing up all around me! The muck was so thick they couldn't move very fast. Pink mist and plumes of water were going everywhere I so wish I had brought my gopro!
A sow and her piglets made it to a small island in front of me but instead of running off she charged me. She almost made it to me but slid to a stop at my feet. The funny thing is all the piglets followed. Lets just say that was a tactical error on their part!
Here are the ones that made it to the island and dry land!
