 Alrighty, y'all, welcome on back to the channel. We are on the attack front here today, going hunting, archery hunting. That's right, we're getting out the bow, coming off our first archery buck of the season, wah-bam! So today is gonna be all about trying to go after some hogs. The hogs, if you've watched one of the last videos we had hogs coming in, it probably would have ruined my hunt after that big eight point. If I would have waited any longer, just the timing of them coming in, they've been coming in almost every day that I've hunted out here. So we're gonna be going after hogs and then scouting out new bucks. So I think the next time I come out here, probably gonna bring friend or family member, scout out some new coal bucks for them, and then also look at any kind of trophy deers, or any trophy deer yet. I really haven't seen anything huge out here yet. Just a lot of mature, big eight points. I've seen some younger 10 points that we definitely want to leave alone. And there's a lot more to explore. So that's what today's video is all about. So we're gonna start the video off early in the box blind with a bow and arrow, going after pigs and checking out some deer. Check it out. Why is someone driving down this road? There goes the deer. Oh, this has to stop. I held my buddy over there. I just talked with him. He said, I didn't scare any deer off, did I? Yeah, he did. I wouldn't get to shoot him anyway, so don't feel too bad. But like I said in the last video, y'all they've got a quarry out here. So I got on this lease and I knew there was a quarry, but they've had to run a pipeline down some of these areas where a couple of our blinds are. So having to work around that. So I just told them, hey man, like 6.30 to eight, that's like prime. So if you could not run down here, then that would be great. So he understood, but that's part of it y'all. So if it's not hogs, it's tractors and whatnot, scaring off the deer out here. Kind of have to work around that. Haven't seen anything. Construction on the road stuff is pretty high. If it ain't the hogs screwing up your deer hunt, it's the big old dozer screwing up your hog hunt. What is a man to do? A man is to go drink a delicious cup of coffee, enjoy the morning and enjoy life. That's what you do. This is my little coffee kit. Care with me in my truck. You never know when you're gonna need a good morning coffee. We do a lot of traveling. It's good to start the morning off right. Get your day going strong. I've got some good coffee, so I keep my coffee in a coffee gator thing. That keeps semi fresh. I've got a couple cups. And then I've got my pour over system in here. And I've got a water filter as well that comes to that. Just not a huge fan of like, you know, the Folgers at deer camp. I'll do it. I'll do it on the old coffee pot, but a nice tasty pour over. You know, once you become like a coffee snob, you kind of just have to, you have to get in there and do your thing, you know. Simple old Folgers at deer camp. Just doesn't do anymore. Couple scoops, one and a half to do. You take the water that's boiling, pour it on top of that and simply let it filter through. Pour over, as they say. Pour it over. I'm scared. Can't do it, can't do it. Gotta let it sit. Right now, we pretty much have the rest of the day to go explore and start marking things. I got a few more cameras I'm gonna set out. I need to replace batteries and things like that. Do some, basically some little ranch work. While I'm waiting for my coffee to cool and do all this ranch work stuff, I'm gonna let some time fly and I'll see you guys at Prime Piggy Time. Need to do it right now, because we're in a weird wind shift. It's coming out of the east. So, I'm looking at this app. I'm not sponsored by these people, but Hunt Stand is this app. It tells you which direction the wind is blowing from throughout the hour and you can monitor it. So, what I've done today, riding around in the meat wagon, is just marked all these blinds and the feeders and all these spots and stuff that I like. And then I can kind of zoom out and check all those on here and see like what's gonna be the best winds. And I may not, I may just go to a stand and sit on the ground. If they come to the feeder, you know, I can take action, but if they're kind of being weird and they skirt around, I can do that. I can go mobile with a bow. Screwed it up. I wasn't crazy about where I was sitting because I feel like a lot of the animals we're gonna come from behind me and I think they were smelling me before. I even got in there. So, I think I'm gonna go back to one of the blinds that I shot my deer at the other night because the pigs had been there just constantly. I'm not gonna go to the actual stand, but I'm just gonna kind of stalk around. Pretty strange we did not see a pig tonight. It's like, when I started hunting for them, they've gone on this illusion plan. But maybe I do like it for the deer. That was kind of the purpose, you know, get the hogs out of the way. So the deer hunting can be better in those crucial low light hour times. What I did do, I got up out of that spot because the cows, I think kind of screwed it up. I didn't really feel good about where I was because the way the wind was blowing, it would have been good for where the feeder was. But I think they, just the way that set up, I had an ambition that they would come behind me. So, and then they would smell me and not come in. So I got up, I walked around. I saw some deer walking around, didn't see any hogs. I'd listened, didn't hear any hogs. And I walked up to the, what we call the Gordo tree stand, which is where Mike shot his doe. I shot my first cul-vac. My vulture camera, I've been getting updates on the bucks that have been coming in since I was gone, because the battery ran out for the last four or five days. And there was a big buck on there. And then I started looking and I just want to make sure, because the buck I saw tonight, they're at the end of the day, right where the pigs have been coming in a lot. There was no pigs, but there was a big buck. You know, five, six years old, maybe older, I don't know, just like brisket, sagging, big, stocky, just a beautiful looking. I think he's an eight point. Check the time when he was still there at 7.30. So if we get a picture on our camera of a bruiser at 7.30, we're gonna know that's that exact same buck and somebody needs to hunt that guy. I think it definitely made a good decision the other day on the same stand, is to go ahead and take that nice mature eight point because the hogs could come in at any minute, run the hunt. But that guy right there probably would've come in because he seems to be coming in every day. And if the wind was staying the same tomorrow morning, I'd be hard-pressed tempted to go and sit there and try to get that buck. I don't know. Let me know in the comments what you would do. Do you try to hunt that buck? I guess I'm gonna have to give these hogs a little break, y'all. Come back later and get them. But the attempt, the pursuit is always fun. All the decisions, decisions, it's all good out here. It's like, man, should we take this buck? Should we chase this animal, go after this and that? Living the dream, y'all. So thanks for tuning in today. Make sure to go ahead and smash that like button for outdoor greatness. And I will see y'all soon. Wish me the best in the outdoors too. See you, bye.
