Hunting in heavy brush, especially mesquite, offers many challenges as do the cold and wet weather. Let's just say the tree got in the way.

Made two approaches on these hogs after following fresh rooting across a field where we killed a couple coyotes only minutes earlier. We could not get a decent view on the hogs on our first approach, At any time 1 or 2 of us could not get a shot because of all the vegetation. After a few minutes of shots coming and going, we retreated, hopped a fence, and came around from another direction...only to discover yet another (noisy) fence and a pond blocking our approach and so we set up to shoot. It was still less than optimal, but now we could also see bedded cattle off to our right...

 
Very Nice! You must have gone to Rattlesnake Dan's backstrap removal school too!
 
Mmmm... fresh back straps !!! Very nice! I like how you dissect your hunt, as well as the hogs you take. Always nice to see how things work.
 
Great shot on the tree! Made of few of those myself over the years, somehow in broad daylight!

Really, really nice recovery for the second shot.

Thanks for the video,
