Monday night was a great night to be out in terms of the weather, great thermal conditions, but overall was a boring night. However, I still managed to locate 3 and kill 2 singles. The hog I did not kill was another blind stalk. I have lost hogs on this property making this same stalk previously. Basically, I have to cross through a low valley where I lose sight of the hog for approximately 300-400 yards of a 500 yard stalk. Sometimes the hogs are still there when I arrive. Sometimes they are gone.
The other two stalks went quite well. The last stalk also had a small portion where I lost sight of the hog and the hog ended up surprising me, passing about 30 yards in front of me. I don't know if he ever knew I was there or not, but after he passed by, he circled around, so I think he probably knew I was there, but didn't know what I was. He stopped and assessed and that was my opportunity to drop him.
