2020 will dang sure go down in the record books.

The biggest thing on my books this year was of course me catching Covid. Damn near killed me. But, just a week before near Aliceville a few friends and I set a new single night record for Alabama Hog Control. We killed 31 that night.

I made my longest shot to date with a thermal scope on a sow one night. I dropped a big sow at 536 yards with my XP50 Trail on top of my 6.5 Grendel. Hit her right in the crease of the shoulder. Thank goodness I had a witness! LOL

I made a head shot on a running pig at just over 300 yards. Once again with my Trail and Grendel.

I had to do a lot of work alone this year. Covid really cut into my guided hunts. But, my farmers and clients still needed hog control. I missed the back half of March, all of April, and a little of May. The fight must go on.

I managed to catch a sounder of 13 in a small field one night. I killed 11 of them. The only 2 survivors were about the size of a squirrel. It is hard to hit those dang "bumble bees".

Killed 6 coyotes in one night.

Going to finish the year around the 800 total on hogs and just over 60 on coyotes. The hog number is way under simply because I missed 2+ months of prime time.

Merry Christmas everyone and God Bless America!

Great job and congratulations on your success. Your success does make me worry about the condition of our great state's wilderness though.
