1st Hunting Trip 10-04-10

Went hog hunting a month back w/ Darryl and his Dad, Donut. Donut is his nickname by the way, really cool guy. Drove about 5 hours south, near Lerado, totally worth the long drive. Even though we didn't see a single hog the entire time we were there, I can't wait to go again.


taken when we finally got to the lease, arrived around 11pm
hung out around camp for a little bit and then went to bed


picture of darryl at sunrise
went around and checked some of the trails and feeders
saw some deer, but no hogs






ran into a friend while ridding the 4 wheelers




checking in w/ Donut while out ridding


we were driving thru some pretty high brush
and darryl drove over this


wasn't as bad as it looked




just some randoms while driving






checking one of the last feeding areas

got bored while we were out
decided to do some shooting for fun

shot w/ a slug out of my remmy 870


got to duel pistol a .22 and S&W .40
got to say thats pretty damn fun






after a nice long nap
we went out w/ Donut to transplant some feeders




hangin out inside, staying out of the heat

these are pics from our second night
looking for hogs to come thru, but never saw any


shot of the moon right before sunset




went out on a tandem rabbit hunt
saw only a few, not a whole lot of action that night


just a lot of fun ridding




these last shots are from out last day
got up around 5ish to make it to our nest before sunrise






random shots of the .243 i was holding


still never saw any hogs
fired the .243 once and nailed a cactus at 75 to 100 yards
