It has been a crazy year so far. Our trapping and night hunting numbers are off the chart. We have surpassed last years total for total kills already and have half the year to go. The news paper article a couple of weeks ago has really helped our property to work acreage. We have picked up around 20,000 acres in the past two weeks.
Now I can start really advertising for additional hunters to fill all the newly created slots. Two of my largest farmers have reported very little damage on their freshly planted crops. I love good news and happy farmers. Word if mouth is great advertising.
I am concerned about growing too big too fast. I am seriously looking at hiring a good coyote trapper/hog guide. I have lots of properties wanting and needing coyote work but I doubt I could keep an employee busy just on that. They will need to guide hunters as well.
If anyone is interested that lives in central Bama, please send me a PM or call me. 334-301-0179
I will be glad to fill in the blanks on the job.
Barry I wish I was closer Barry! That would be the job to have!

Got 3 more last night to bring the total up to 472. But, had some bad luck. I limped the truck home today. I think my bearings are going out. Anyway, guessing I will be spending some money early next week getting the ole HOGKLA mobile back in shape! Will be using my old green truck tonight. Been a long time since she and I have killed some pigs. So, look like swine!!!!!!

Got a couple of bonus pigs last night on a spot and stalk in Lowndes County. Have done this several times if the adjoining woods are open enough to see good.
There were about a dozen or so hogs in a cotton field and we were able to stalk to within about 50 yards before the 3 of us opened up on them. Two big sows hit the ground first and we started trying to hit the little ones but it was difficult with the cotton as high as it was. Anyway, one of the sows gets back up and limps into the hardwoods.
After looking for little pigs for about 20 minutes I go to find the sow. I find her with the thermal easy dead about 20 yards into the woods. It was pretty open in there. I am standing there looking at her and I hear a twig snap and start scanning with the thermal and see two 30 pounders coming my way looking for momma. I grunt them up to about 5 yards and kill one. I start scanning for the other one and see another big pig off about 40 yards and shoot it. I walk over and see that it is another big sow.
I am amazed at how SAFE pigs feel in the woods at night sometimes. I am going to get me a good green LED flashlight for stalking in the woods. I think I can add to my kill totals when the woods are open enough. And yes, it is a little crazy walking around in the woods with hogs at night. LOL

Had some crazy stalking yesterday evening. Property has a lot of plots planted in corn and the hogs are killing them. Sneaking up on big hogs and shooting them at 10 yards is a little spooky. Killed 6 yesterday.
509 now.

515 now and the reporting clients have caught 867.
Headed down to the wiregrass area to work a bunch of peanut fields tonight. Might have an ugly number in the morning. Sure hope so!
