 Alright guys we just walked in here, we've got about 30 minutes until the sun starts to set and these hogs just started coming out. So I'm just looking for something to give me a little bit of back cover or something I can just hide behind some of these big hickory trees. Where I'm sitting across the creek is fantastic. My camera where I've been getting the hog photos is about 30 yards. So I'm going to see if I can get something a little bit closer. But I'm pretty sure these hogs are going to, if they come in. They'll come in here and they'll mill around a little bit and then they'll cross the creek and go look for other hickory trees. The reason I wanted to come over here tonight is because we've had a ton of wind with these thunderstorms. And it's knocked a lot of the nuts out of the trees. The ground is also really soft so we don't have that crunching sound so I can do some stalking. And the wind is going to be good as well. Good consistent wind. Brought my pad so I can just kind of sit on or kneel on whatever I got to do. And I'm just rocking the fanny with the range finder. That's pretty much it. Going pretty simple. Just hunting on the ground. Alright guys, we did not encounter any hogs last night which I consider a good thing. Walking back in the dark but I'm hoping to get one of these pigs right at sundown. I've got enough trail cam pictures that I think it's possible. I'm just going to have to try a few times. I really don't have any good morning pictures of pigs. But I was right about the acorns and the pecans and everything else falling out of the trees. The deer were loving it. They were all over it. Saw so many deer. I was covered up with them. And I'm not sure if the doe's blowing. Had anything to do with us not seeing any pigs. I don't think so. I didn't have any night time photos when I got up this morning and checked the cell cam. So I really don't think so. We're going to go try it again tonight. Alright y'all, I've been sick. I lost my voice last good week so bear with me. I've been trying to save my voice up talking in a video. I didn't really have an intro to this video because my voice was gone at the time. But this is my bow that I've chosen to basically make into ground hunting bow, blind bow, and night hunting bow now. So at the least, you know, we've got a lot of pigs. I had a stabilizer right here and I took it off and I put this light kit on here. And I've never used this before. This is Elusive Wildlife Technologies. I got this one up at Cinnamon Creek Archery Shop. But they've got the Sniper Hog version as well, which I've used before. And I liked it. It was good. I use a Sniper Hog. This light is really small. It's super compact and I like that. It's got a couple different trigger options for it, but I'm not even running the trigger. So it's got a wire that you would run right here and you can press that with your index finger wherever you want to put it to turn it on. But I'm just going to turn it on using my thumb. Sort of scan like this, doing a soft press, and then I'll click it in and draw when I'm ready. If there's something basically on the trail at night, as I'm coming back, I'm not stalking the Dagum Woods with this thing because it's pretty creepy being on the ground with hogs at night. But for sitting in the dark conditions, especially, you know, right at low light, I decided to go ahead and put a light onto my black gold site. And this is the black gold light that I added to it. It's great. It was like 25 bucks. It was pretty cheap. And it's just got a couple of little watch batteries in there. And it lights up that my single pin, which I love. This thing is perfect for sitting inside of the ground blind, even, you know, for whitetail at the last little bit of light there when you're in a ground blind, everything's dark or when I've got the pigs. I've also set up a light at the least, which I'll show you guys in another video where I'm specifically trying to hunt pigs there with a bow. And I can see the pigs with light that's around the feeder, but I can't see my pins. Now I can't see my pins. So this bow I've basically dedicated to, you know, real low light hunting and pig hunting with it. I'm going to try to get, if I'm close enough, where I can shoot a real small one, I will because I want to eat one of these pigs, you know, they've been eating nuts and they're probably pretty tasty pigs. I actually had to do a little bit of yard work today, some limb burning. So I want to head and just smoke to my hunting clothes. I'm going to have that hood tonight and mask. As you guys saw last night, you know, even just sitting on the ground with a deer, if you're not moving and the wind is right, they'll walk right past you. But it's really, it's really when you have that wind against you is when they catch you. But a hog is, they're, in my opinion, their eyes are worse than a deer. So it's really just the smell you got to worry about, which I stink pretty good right now. Closer smelling like smoke. So that's good. That is set up behind this coglet tree right here, literally, where there's hog walls. And I can see just like from a couple of days ago, they were right here feeding on these hickory nuts that are falling out of the tree. So there's a big thicket that's behind me. And I think what they're going to do is follow this little creek bed into the hickory grove. I don't know if they're going to do it tonight, but it seems like that's what they're doing. So it's really, really thick as we go that way. And it's pretty open over here, so it looks like a good feeding area. And they go sleep back that way. Good cover behind me. I hear them come and shoot. But if they pass me and come into this grove, I'll try to shoot them before they get too far in front of me and smell me. Get to see some more deer tonight and get an arrow knocked. Guys, if you want a good way to dookie in your pants while hunting, that is a good way to do it. I unfortunately never got a good clean shot I felt great about. I actually drew back a couple of times. So when I first got away from that cottonwood tree and was going to go see if I could stock up on the pigs I was hearing, I got in this little creek bed and I just, I looked up, I saw movement and here they come. And there was like 20 of them and they kept crossing the creek, crossing the creek. And I was trying to get an arrow knocked and get ready. And finally when I did, I was thinking one more was going to cross the creek. So I was ready to go for that last one and no other pigs crossed. And then the same thing happened when I popped up on this little ridge and they were just scattered. They were kind of running all around me. They knew something was there. They didn't know what it was. They were like barking, chattering, growling. It was scary. And then I was drawing back. I had a pig 25 yards. I was going to shoot it and as soon as I drew back it took off into the brush. And then I had one right behind me, like five feet from me, growling, barking. I don't know if you guys could hear it. But I was thinking this thing is going to just come out of these briars and attack me and there's nothing I can do. And then I'm just trying to get home. I'm just trying to walk back and there's hogs coming out of the woodwork. And I had a big, a big group just run right in front of me. And I mean, right where I got to walk. I think I might try to go out again and set in a tree where I feel more comfortable. I don't feel comfortable getting down out of a tree when it's dark. But man, I had pigs all around me on the ground. And it was just spooky, man. Spooky walking around with a bunch of pigs. Especially when you see those big ones and you're like, oh man. You know, they're in the brush. I can't see them. They know I'm here. They're pissed. There's mama with babies. You know, there's a bore in the mix. You just never know what can happen. I'm not going to lie. It made my heart skip a beat a few times. Thank you guys for hanging with me on this scary one in the woods. Don't forget to check out Bucks Gear.
