The hogs' schedule says they are coming every night, between 8:45 and midnight, so I'm gonna see if I can intercept them tonight as winds will be perfect, in my face.

Older pic but this is what I'm expecting:



I'll be posting updates from the seat---so stay tuned.

Ready knocked and locked but have a bit of target practice next door.

Bah—11:00, 1deer, a coon, and an owl. 30 min more

11:20--had a medium boar about 25 yds away at 2 0'clock but he didn't come in---circled the pen about 20 yds back in the brush and wandered on off to the west--

Back another night this week.

Meant to post the hog schedule last night but needed to reformat it first---the red is when they have been in front of the camera by date and time. As you can see, last night should have been a slam dunk---but you just never know.



Most interesting part of the sit was all the company I had. When I got ready to take my seat, there was a baby walking stick on the cushion, about 2" long. Then after I got situated, bow on my lap, I see motion on my arrows--



Then I notice the leaves in the trees above me moving even though it was dead calm---eventually counted 24+ of the walking sticks in the two trees of different sizes. Here's the largest one I saw.



And, a couple of times during my sit, I felt some critter crawling up my pants leg---yep, they came to visit. Sure glad they are harmless.

I will be headed back Wednesday night most likely.

Wow, rarely see more than 2-6 a summer up here
and none over 3" long.

How big do you think that one was?

george--that one was 5+ inches long I'm guessing, but not as long as this one--

That's damned near big enough to eat!

Never seen one over 3" and sure nothing
like that guy, or is it a gal?

At least they don't bite us. I try to
treat them well and get them put back
out on a bush soon as I can. From what
I've heard they're bug eaters and hungry.

Thanks for the pictures.

Where's the hogs though?

George
