Double Naught Spy
Well-Known
It was back in 2009 when I killed my first hog. It was a huge sucker and I was hooked. I killed a whopping 3 hogs on my place that year. I would hunt 1 or 2 nights a week if there was a hog showing up on the game camera. They had invaded the property where I had my shooting range and were doing rooting damage and I didn't approve, LOL. In 2010, I killed 2 more. In 2011, I started helping out with hogs on a buddy's place and killed another 5 that year. As you can see, it was a slow progression at first, both in the number of hogs and technology used. By 2015, I was helping people on several properties, mostly in north Texas. Flash forward to 2020 and despite the game camera being down, and billions of acorns still on the ground, I had hog prints on the ground under one of my feeders. I was at 999 killed and recovered hogs and so #1000 turns out to be at the place where I killed my first hog. I have a box blind now next to the tree stand where it all started and the feeder is a little farther out, but same meadow on the same property...
