This year has started out full of fire and fury.

I am now a full time hog killing machine. Hoping to break 1,000 this year on thermal hunts alone.

We are well on that pace already and we haven't even had a full month yet.

To date we are at 167.

Wow brother that's a solid start.

I had a great hunt over in Bullock County Monday night. Had one of those nights where I was just by myself.

I found the first sounder in a food plot. Two sows and 10 little ones. I got both the sows and 6 little ones.

Second sounder was in some hardwoods. These were all big pigs. I killed 5 sows and 4 boars.

The third sounder was in the woods as well. I killed 2 sows and 4 little ones.

The forth sounder was in some thick stuff. I shot a big boar and the rest escaped I guess.

I recorded all the stalks. After watching the video there were several more hogs that were hit hard but I didn't find out in the woods.

The recovered total was 24. That is my best total for a single night. Hopefully Becca will get the video edited and posted this weekend.

I am curious as to what ya'll think the actual kill total actually was. I will only count the 24 recovered but I do think I killed more.

Video is posted on FB for those that use it.

Had a couple of northern clients the other night. I had already covered the stalking and countdown process with both of them very well. We get on the first group of pigs (7) and start the stalk. We get all setup at about 40 yards and I start the countdown. I barely get the word 3 out and the guy on the left starts shooting. All heck broke loose then. We still managed to kill 4. Should have gotten them all. LOL

He had to buy breakfast the next morning! LOL

238 total now.

Lol

That video was awesome! Gotta get some buddies together and do that one of these days

Had a great hunt Friday night in Bullock County again. Recovered 21.
We didn't do as well Saturday night. Shot at 4 and killed 4. Just couldn't find them.

263 total now.

Got clients 3 of the next 5 nights.

280 total now.

Barry I hope you kill 2000 this season!

On a crazy pace so far. We are sitting on 295 to date. With 273 coming since deer season ended.

Some spots are drying up fast. I checked fields last night that were recently planted with corn and only killing lone boars.

I have had hunters the past 4 days and still have 2 more days before I get a night off.

Retirement is not slowing me down any! LOL

Took a father daughter combo out the other night. The young lady was 17 and had been begging her dad for a hog hunt for a few years. She dropped the first sow like a rock with my Grendel. The smile was as big as Texas.

We are on a nasty pace this year. My retirement is having some nasty effects on the hogs.

309 to date

So is it safe to say that you're killing more shooting than you are trapping now?

As long as he shoots better then we did Tuesday night I’d say yes.

I am not running any traps myself right now. Still selling a bunch. Clients are catching.

326 to date

286 have came since deer season ended. All of these were taken with thermals except 4. Those were killed during daylight.

Had some day hunters come down from Missouri the past couple of days to do some stalk hunting. They killed 9 and had a blast.

Still wearing them out at night.

369 total now.

Keep me in mind if you get another customer in my area. We are doing another Community cookout this weekend

We hit 409 last night. We didn't hit that number until August last year. It has been on fire. I actually got 3 traps running on the club, should start adding some trapping numbers to the thermal totals shortly.

The Jager Pro traps are making a mark now. We are at 526 now. This is crazy. We shot some this week as well in the full moon. Dang the boars love to come out on those bright nights! The dang boars are keeping my sex ratio off so far this year. I normally stay plus on the female side because of our tactic of targeting sows on the thermal hunts but dang if the boars are not wearing us out. Anyway, the only downside I have is that we are -4 on the ratio. I need to find some sows!
