Came out to my dad's place to hunt and it was DARK tonight... Humid too. Very little wind and less deer than normal.... Eerily quiet...Gave me the heebie jeebies..and on top of that seemed like luck wasn't on my side tonight.
Anyways,I hunted 2 spots at one location and 3 spots at another back and forth and back and forth from about 9:30-2:45.
Saw a pig under first feeder with thermal monocular from about 100 yds away (#175-200-ish). He had no clue I was there. While I stalked a little closer and got to a better shooting angle, the wind started blowing... Right to him.. I Checked thermal monocular one more time and he was looking right at me. By the time I switched to my gun he had already gone back in the trees... Oh well.. He'll be back.
Went back to my truck to drive to the next spot. Get in and start going up the driveway and that hog runs across dirt road about 15 yards in front of me and was gone before I could get my gun and get out of the truck... It's like he looped around and followed me back to the house.
Rest of the night was quiet dark creepy and mostly uneventful. Seemed like the only thing I saw after that were deer and only between me and the bait spots as I approached on foot blocking my path and snorting very loudly as they ran off.
There were a bazillion stars out tonight though, which was nice. Hopefully the hunt tmrw night goes a little better.
