25yrs ago on my first TX hog hunt, I was told to go a direction, then turn right at "the tank". I thought dude had some old junk surplus tank out rusting on the ranch. I had to radio and say I didn't see a tank. He replied, "I see you right at it!" I then asked where the tank was in relation to the pond.

Well that’s just wrong!
We put the boots to a lot of pigs that trip. I wish I had hammers back then(2014). That was the $7 a nose bounty days. I killed 52 in a week myself. Most were little but I did get a 315# boar. The only rules on that ranch were you had to shoot every pig you saw so shoot I did….a lot!Well that’s just wrong!
That’s the rules everywhere I hunt in Texas now!
I might be looking for a place like that again soon. Unfortunately the owner of the place I went to passed away a few years ago. His daughter owns it now and the rules have changed.That’s the rules everywhere I hunt in Texas now!
Have the pigs gone completely nocturnal there yet? That’s what happened at our place after a few years of hard hunting. By 2016 you never saw a pig in the daylight. It gets to be an expensive game when thermals are required. Hunt all night and sleep all day. Fun times though!
That's pretty much what's happened here. I got a bada$$ thermal scope and can't stay up late enough to use it
Pretty much. If you know where they bed in the daytime, you can sneak up on them IF we have a little wind. Their sniffers are too good for humid and still days, which are prevalent.
I still cringe seeing this and all I can see in minds eye is his selfie of his eyebrow "smile"!500 Jeffery Scope Bite
I think you deserve a medal for saddling back in and not developing a flinch!
I didn't feel a thing.
